The ART 101 course is a part of the Early College Program through Greenville Technical College and is free for Fine Arts Center students. The course covers visual literacy and an overview of the Art Historical Canon, beginning with prehistoric art and ending with late 20th Century art. The overview focuses on the larger art historical movements. Students who complete the course will have an increased understanding and appreciation of the art world, thus improving their understanding of their own culture and the connections between their discipline and the history of art and culture. This is a beneficial course for all students at the Fine Arts Center. Finally, the course is accredited and meets the General Education Humanities requirement at most colleges.
