Art II is the study of artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural context, and aesthetic valuing through connections, relationships, applications.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to expand upon the understanding of creativity supported by the Holy Scriptures (Phil 4:8, Col. 3:23-24; …whatever you do … do as to the Lord.) The creativity displayed through creation (a large part of the character of God) is exhibited in art. As such, our creating must be done as for the Lord – in quality, focus, effort and subject matter.
Students will develop the ability to identify and respond to visual characteristics of artworks and their environment. They will gain experience in foundational techniques to create expressive artworks in a variety of two-dimensional media. Students will understand the role of visual arts throughout history and among world cultures. They will develop skills to analyze and make informed judgments about important artists and their work, as well as their own work and that of their peers. They will gain insight into the integration of art across subject areas and will explore career opportunities available in the visual arts.
