4 courses with the subject ART, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ART 0200UNDERSTANDING ART AND DESIGN
In this foundational course, students will learn the fundamental elements, principals, and vocabulary of art. Students will participate in a step-by-step process of acquiring the tools to read or see line, shape, value, color, texture, space, motion, emphasis, rhythm, and proportion -- by comparing paintings and advertising design work. At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to go to an art museum with a strong understanding of the work they're seeing, and with a sophisticated vocabulary to express that understanding. These skills will carry over into the workplace and help students evaluate advertising and graphic design.
In this hands-on course students will create and post their very own Web sites to the internet. The capabilities of the World Wide Web along with the fundamentals of web design will be taught. Students will plan the content, structure and layout of a Web site. Students will learn to build links between the pages, add color, backgrounds, graphics, tables, hot buttons, and animation.
This course will give students the opportunity to explore art making in a variety of mediums and learn about some of the basic principles of composition, color theory and mark making. The instructor will lecture on and give examples of the work of significant artists in each of the categories that we address in our studio sessions. We will arrange a visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art that will enrich students’ understanding of the arts in the 20th Century.
This course explores the role of the phone as a picture taking device as well as a contemporary cultural ideal. Picture taking is a key element addressed along with apps and social platforms used to edit and share photographic images.
