4034 ART AND MUSIC
(Semester) Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior

This beginning level semester course is designed to introduce students to the art elements and principles including line, shape, value, form, color, space, and texture while discovering music appreciation through instruction in two and three-dimensional art forms. This semester course will focus on how music influences the visual arts and vice versa by means of different art movements and musical genres. Particular emphasis will be placed on youth driven subcultures, historical and contemporary hip hop and punk rock. It will also include discussions on classical, world, electronic, alternative and jazz music. Visual art projects are based on such personal subjects as favorite songs, bands/group artist names, song lyrics/titles, dance and creative inspirations. Students will often be given the opportunity to work in independent studies atmospheres to develop their creative skills and explore the relationships of art and music through various media such as collage and acrylic painting.
