| Description: |
Students will examine and challenge common assumptions about art and design. Ancient and contemporary art histories will be discussed as they are considered for their aesthetic, technical, and cultural relevance as students build a "portfolio of ideas" about art, its societal role, and the processes by which it is made.

| Learning Goals: |
Course Objectives and Learning Goals:Introductory Art Seminar is a visual-art critical-thought course designed to assist you in the development and advancement of your visual literacy. We will view and discuss an enormous range of visual artwork and quickly develop a language that advances complex formal, aesthetic, philosophical and socio-political directions in the field. Students will develop critical thinking by writing brief weekly papers on art historical, aesthetic and other culturally relevant subjects that will culminate into a notebook. Visual Art solutions to similar problems and propositions will also be created, presented and critiqued. Participation in all group discussions is required. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
