Course Description In part two, the exploration of all the most important art movements will continue. Students will learn the basics of drawing and painting and explore the history of art including Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, and Pop Art. “Gallop” part 1 and part 2 can be taken together or separately.
What will you learn? Students will increase their artistic perceptions as they relate to the historical and cultural contexts of the artists studied. They will compare and contrast various works of art that have similar themes but were created at different time periods. Students will learn to distinguish and describe representational, abstract and nonrepresentational works of art. This class will be a fund approach to art history as students make new friends and build their creativity and self- confidence.
