- The course intends to introduce students to the different mediums of
artistic expression as well as to theoretical and historical contexts
for art appreciation. The course also includes visits to galleries and
art museums. A major emphasis of the course is studio art and
therefore the course will essentially be like a lab with some
lectures.
- Topics: contemporary debates in art, elements of art and design
((line, shape, value, texture, color, and space), principles of art

environmental art, installation art), clay and stoneware pottery and
glazing, multimedia and art, digital arts, fabric art, making natural
