ART-125 A Global Introduction to Art
This is an introductory, General Education course designed for the non-art major. This course provides a framework and language for describing, interpreting, and appreciating art. It explores fundamental questions associated with art across diverse cultures (western and non-western) and throughout history. For example, students consider how to define art, various cultural and personal motivations for producing art, the art making process, and the ways in which art reflects its cultural and historical moment. Content is presented through lectures, discussion, hands-on exercises, and student group work and presentations. This course carries SUNY General Education The Arts credit.
