Welcome to Art 101 where we learn how to express ourselves creatively and expose ourselves to some Art History basics. In this course you will be exposed to some of the great periods in the Art world including Cubism, Impressionism, Modern Art, and some of the first artwork ever discovered in the caves of Lascaux. Additionally we will explore our own creative expression paying close attention to following the outlined process for each of these projects. Process is extremely important when it comes to creating artwork, or for anything for that matter. Every Artist that has made a name for themselves has used, defined, and mastered the process they used to express themselves creatively. This Unit will expose you to some of those artists and their processes in hopes that you can create your works with a like mindset. I do not expect you to create a masterpiece, however I do expect you to closely follow the processes outlined for each project which will enrich your creations and experience. The majority of your grade will be based on the projects identified on the assignments page of our Wiki. No exams will be given in this course after all didn't you kind of take this class to avoid stressful exams. Class participation and value added during discussion will account for a small portion of your grade as well.
