Welcome to AT 161 Visual Experiences Art Appreciation Art appreciation on-line is an exciting way to be introduced to the visual arts. This course will give you an overview of art by highlighting its formal elements, principles of design, and its various media and materials. You will become acquainted with some works of art in their historical context and learn how to look at and think about art. The course has been designed to make use of some of the best features of the internet in the learning process. You will visit virtual museums; send your work by e-mail attachment; participate in class discussions by way of the class discussion board and work on virtual team projects. We will meet together on campus twice to retain the personal, individual attention Aquinas strives to give its students. This combination of on-line and on-campus experiences will make your work much more enjoyable and interesting! Some of us in this course are beginners at on-line courses. We’ll all be helping each other with the technology. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our art adventure together! Sister Marie Celeste Miller
