This class is an overview of art history, design
principles, methods and media. A semester is only enough time to g=
et an idea
of thousands of years of art. The
goal of this class is to inspire further exploration of the enormous world =
of
art.
Discussion questions, vocabulary, and quizzes will be
posted online weekly; participation will be a part of the daily grade. All written work will be submitted
online unless otherwise stated. Testing
will be performed through Blackboard within specific days and times. A muse=
um visit
with a scavenger hunt or essay will be required with the group. If the stud=
ent
does not live in the Athens/Dallas/Ft.Worth area or has work or campus class
issues; arrangements will be made to visit another museum. Some extra credit will be given but=
it is
the student’s responsibility to read and do daily assignments to keep=
up
and to be prepared for tests.
Accountability: This class exists entirely through the internet at www.tvcc.edu in the Blackboard Learning Sy=
stem.
The student will be held at a higher level of accountability than in an on
campus class. This means one is responsible to meet deadlines.
