The course develops in the students the theoretical frames for art appreciation. Practical and theoretical approaches focus on developing descriptive capabilities that enliven art as a visual form. Emphasis will be on how the design elements are factored into the art form and relevant laws of formal organization operate in a work of art or design piece. An essential component here is the post description evaluation and judgment arising from the apparent aesthetic value in the work described and evaluated.
