Introduction
Hello! I am Elizabeth Mackey, your instructor for Art 116. I look forward to learning together this semester!

Course Description
The course material encompasses the discovery of many artistic and cultural movements that pertain to the geographic areas of India, China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. ART 116 is an introduction to various artworks, historical time periods, and visual arts terminology. This course will also provide you with the skills to analyze and interpret works of art.
What to Expect in this Course
You'll learn about many things in this class, not only art, but also introductory histories of various regions and time periods, their people and customs. Learning in this class is image oriented, expect to look closely at and think critically about works of art and architecture. As we move through the semester, you will develop and strengthen your visual analysis skills by interpreting artworks based on how they look, the time and place they were made, who made them, what materials and techniques were used, and how this informs their meaning. Although our course is 100% Online, you will have opportunities to discuss and explore our course content together with myself and your classmates.
