Students will gain new insight into various methods of visual analysis and criticism by viewing and discussing art at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and by participating in assigned readings, writing, and field trips.  The course will also utilize famous art quotes to facilitate inquiry into the visual aesthetics and the development of personal artistic perception and appreciation. Classes meet at the Museum, with visits to the Festival of the Arts and other local art venues.

Students may audit credit courses for no grade or credit. Regular credit tuition and fees still apply. A reduced class fee is available to students 65 and older who audit a course.
