The ability to thoroughly examine, analyze and respond to creative concepts and ideas, both verbally and in writing, is an essential tool in an art and design education.

In this foundation course, historical and contemporary art (both 2 and 3-dimensional) is presented in relationship to a specific theme.

Students develop an approach to critical analysis by delving into the historical context of the artwork.
