ARTE 101: Art, Design, and Society

Course Description

This course provides an introductory forum for beginning artists, designers, art historians, and art educators to think through the motivation(s) behind their/our creative work(s), research, and practices. Through topical examinations of contemporary art, craft, design, art history scholarship, art education scholarship, and interdisciplinary projects, developing artists will sift through pertinent issues around sustainability, ethics, ecologies, pedagogies, and civic engagement in order to inform our own burgeoning motivations and creative practices. Additional fees may apply. See Class Schedule. Prerequisite: For Art+Design majors only.
