HISTORICAL TECHNIQUES OF WESTERN ART
Credit: 1/2
Prerequisite: Design
This course teaches students to create art using production techniques that span the history of Western art from pre-history to modern times. Studio activities include creation of stained glass panels, bas-relief soapstone carving, ceramics, lithography, calligraphy, creation of pigments and tools from natural materials, pastel painting, and other work that will help students develop a deeper understanding of the major characteristics and trends of each period. Emphasis is placed on acquiring technical skills and on developing an understanding of the historical and cultural context in which each art form was practiced.
