| Course Description |
This course exposes students to a basic exploration of two major, overarching art forms – visual and performing arts. The course concentrates on the formal elements and mediums, and introduces art-related vocabulary commonly used by artists and art historians. The first part of the course entails an overview of the different art forms in a variety of media and genres while students being exposed to the formal elements of art including line, colour, motion, pattern, texture, space, time, performance, rhythm, and sound. The second part deals with the theoretical and philosophical aspects of the arts such as aesthetics, evaluation and meaning; social, cultural, and political issues that artists examine or address in their work; and, the role and effect of the arts in societies and its relation to technology.
