FINE 1101 - FYE Arts Practices

Credits: 1

The First Year Experience is designed to assist first year students in their adjustment and assimilation into the university environment. Students will be introduced to a series of individual and group experiences that will enhance self-motivation, identify learning styles and habits, develop academic mindset, and adopt study skills for college success. This course will also address the interdisciplinary nature of the visual and performing arts through a cooperative hands-on immersion into real time arts production. Students will be introduced to craft, design, and theory crucial to their own arts endeavors. Significant artist and movements will be surveyed and critiqued in order to gain a better understanding of the context of their own art making. Students will receive guidance on how to create exhibitions, recitals/performances with an entrepreneurial approach to production.
