ARTS 20 Creating Art - Skill Building I

School of Academic Upgrading and Development

ARTS 20 Creating Art – Skill Building I explores a specific type of art so that students learn skills beyond a more basic level, as their abilities allow them to at this time.  The intention is that once students have gathered an overall appreciation of art in a general sense within a theme, they can now begin to explore a selected type of art within that theme. The focus of this course is to develop a mastery of skills and ensure quality production.
