COURSE DESCRIPTION
A survey of architecture, sculpture and painting beginning with Prehistory and concluding

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1.
Increase visual sensitivity:
“If I can get as much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be reached by sight. Yet
those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action is taken for granted. It
is a great pity the gift of sight is used as a convenience rather than as a means of adding beauty
to life.” – Helen Keller
2.
Understand the factors that influence the Arts: Climate topography,
available materials, religion, technology, needs, and socioeconomic climate.
3.
Know the most important women artists and their major works.
4.
Know and identify the different styles of art and architecture.
5.
Know the art and architectural vocabulary.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (S.L.O.S.)
1.
2.
3.
Analyze a piece of art in terms of the elements and principles of design
used by the artist.
Recognize major factors which have influenced the development of the arts.
Be able to identify different styles of art.

other students for answers or look on their exams or quizzes, you do not give other students answers, all of your essay writing is your own and none of it is written by others, and
you do not copy answers or writing off other student’s papers. You do not use crib (cheat)
sheets, notes, or anything else during an exam or quiz or in any way take an unfair advantage
over other students. I expect you to inform the course assistants or myself, immediately, of
the identity of any student you know to be cheating in class. All work must be completely
your own. In addition to the above, I require that you practice civility and courteousness in
Art 100 with your fellow students, the course assistants and myself. I will not condone or

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS TALKING ABOUT SUICIDE.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Unfortunately, this question is being asked by more and more people in our country today. Young and old from all
walks of life are experiencing despair and hopelessness. Suicide has become a major cause of death in the United
States, ranking EIGHTH in adults and SECOND among adolescents.
Suicide is an epidemic that demands intervention. You can help. You can be a help even if you have never thought of
or tried suicide yourself. You can help just by being the person you are. If a friend of any age comes to you saying they
are contemplating suicide, it is because they trust you. You can help by using that trust. Your friend does not need to
go through this time alone. You can prevent your friend from killing himself by learning and listening.
MYTHS
In order to help, we must first learn about many of the myths surrounding suicide. One strongly believed myth is
that if your friend is talking about suicide he will not do it. NOT TRUE. If he is talking about it, he is thinking about it. If
nobody listens, that thought could easily be acted upon. Talking is positive, but only if he’s heard and taken seriously.
But that is not to say that if he is suicidal your friend will always be that way. Once suicidal, always suicidal is another
prevalent myth. There is help. Those current emotions will change – although that’s hard to hear when you’re hurting. Another myth that we hear about is that suicide just happens without warning. Again – false. There are warning
signs if we learn how to look for them. If you are aware of not only verbal statements, but also clues, you can help and
be on the first line of defense.
Has your friend changed lately? Is he eating more or eating less? Is he staying away from you and his other friends?
Have his grades gone down if he is in school? Or, if he is an adult, have his work habits changed radically? Is your
friend getting his affairs in order? Giving things away? Making a will? Making a point of seeing someone to give them a
treasured possession?
For the Teenager, there could be boyfriend or girlfriend troubles, difficulties with their parents, and peer pressure
in areas of substance abuse, sexual participation, or even curfews. Whatever the circumstance the person is in, when
they become overwhelmed, suicide could become an option.
Severe living problems are another warning sign. These can include family problems such as the threatened loss of
a relationship, a spouse who threatens separation, or divorce, disagreements, loss of a family member through death,
loss of one’s health, or a dysfunctional home.
Of course, one of the biggest warning signs would be someone already mentioning suicide. If so, LISTEN, and even if they
seem to be kidding,TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. Suicide is no joke.
