Art Foundations – ART110 Course

In our Art Foundations course, students will examine the seven elements of art: Line, color, shape, value, form, texture, and space. Students will defend judgments about the characteristics and structures to accomplish commercial, personal, communal, or other purposes of art. This includes the process to evaluate the effectiveness of artworks in terms of organizational structures and functions. Students will also differentiate between elements of art and principles of design. They will also apply techniques and processes to create artwork with elements and principles of art. Students will demonstrate their understanding of art concepts through discussions, art evaluations, and by creating their own pieces. Our online Art Foundations course introduces students to the fundamental principles of art and design. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, students will explore various techniques, mediums and concepts essential for artistic development. Whether you're new to art or seeking to enhance your skills, this course provides a solid foundation for future artistic endeavors. In addition to individual growth, our Art Foundations class is perfect for those interested in understanding the broader scope of visual arts.
