Dear ART 101 learners,
Welcome to the ART 101: Artistic process and visual language course (art101), hosted at the OERu. This course gives a basic understanding of how art is defined and the different ways it functions in societies and cultures. It explores the artistic process and the art industry surrounding it. Students will be introduced to artistic principles: the means by which the elements in a work of art are arranged and orchestrated. The course also help students learn the “language of art” through a structured approach to terms and examples used to describe and analyze any work of art.
During this introductory session you will familiarise yourself with the art101 course site and meet the course facilitator(s). Make sure you bookmark the art101 homepage. You will also establish your personal learning environment and introduce yourself using the general course discussion forum or your personal blog. Refer to the Start Here page with orientation tasks that should be completed prior to the start of the course. Here are some other important links you should review as soon as possible:
