Great Art Classes Offered at the University of Colorado in Boulder

I've been in love with art since I could walk. I've dabbled in just about every form of art listed. If you're interested in taking any of the courses below, I can only assume that you too have an affinity for this subject. All I can say is what would this world be like without art.

What is Art

Art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind; thus art is an action, an object, or a collection of actions and objects created with the intention of transmitting emotions and/or ideas. Beyond this description, there is no general agreed-upon definition of art, since defining the boundaries of "art" is subjective, but the impetus for art is often called human creativity.

An artwork is normally assessed in quality by the amount of stimulation it brings about. The impact it has on people, the number of people that can relate to it, the degree of their appreciation, and the effect or influence it has or has had in the past, all accumulate to the "degree of art." Most artworks that are widely considered to be "masterpieces" possess these attributes.

Foundations
