Art Foundations

As an entry-level elective, this course provides a strong foundation for exploration of a variety of art-making methods, materials, and processes in the visual arts. Knowledge of drawing & painting, photography & graphic design, and sculpture & design is gained through class discussions and art- making challenges. Understanding the elements of art and principles of design allows students to create and discuss art, both in class discussions and examination art in history and/or museums. An essential component of the Visual Arts program centers on an understanding of God as the Master Creator and how that understanding informs choices in art-making and judging works of art. Weekly visual journals allow students to explore their own personal voice in art.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design is an advanced art class. Today’s culture is a visual culture. This course challenges students to produce meaningful work through their use of graphic design solutions. Class critiques provide a Christian context through which students judge all visual design. Projects are based on photography, traditional art methods, and digital applications, and apply an advanced understanding of design principles to a variety of applications. The required text provides a solid framework for the student to understand and learn step-by-step instructions for a variety of graphic design solutions. Weekly visual journals allow students to explore their own personal voice in art. Students are required to bring a laptop to class.
