ART1100 Visual Culture Foundations


This course introduces the student to Visual Culture as an interdisciplinary field intrinsic to the Art Department’s curriculum. In this course the student gains awareness of the department’s curriculum, its conceptual outlook and its focus areas. The students will gain familiarity with the multiplicity of concepts, strategies, materials and issues available to the contemporary artist. Students will produce two class presentations discussing possible conceptual and production avenues for future research and practice. The content of the course will be delivered through selected readings, lectures, handouts, Moodle resources and a variety of AV modes. The Art Foundations curriculum for the BA SA introduces the student to the language, concepts, materials and techniques necessary to enter into the more advanced courses that will constitute the Focus Area for students pursuing a BA in Studio Art.
