Course Description: Art Appreciation promotes a deeper and more expansive appreciation of Art through
its opus along with the multitude of cultural histories an individual has inherited. Students will learn how
to develop a five-system approach in understanding art in all forms based on Description, Analysis, Context,
Meaning, and Judgment. Through systemic thinking, reflective and blended learning, students are
envisioned to become active participants, critical of their surroundings. This course aims to provide
students the opportunity to explore visual principles and elements, observe, participate in or otherwise
experience works of art in order to appreciate their role and purpose in life.
