ART 101 - Introduction to Studio Art

Lower Division

This course introduces students to the processes of art practice. The first part of the course engages students in a series of exercises and assignments to build skills and explore media and materials. Students then begin a self-selected project-based workflow, accompanied by creative research in both academic and artistic environments. It is important to emphasize that this course is not vocational in that it does not aim to teach specific skill sets but rather to introduce students to the processes of artists, ranging from experimentation with materials to critique through to research into subject areas and/or artworks/artists relevant to the student’s concentration. The class functions as a laboratory for experimentation with multi-media work, collaboration, and documentation.
