ART 112 - 2D Design

3 credits

A variety of 2D design concepts and tools are introduced to foster visual literacy, and deepen appreciation of the role of design in art and culture. Students create projects that explore elements and principals of design, including line, shape, space, value, sequence and color, while developing fluency in the handling of media, and an increased awareness of craftsmanship. Lectures and critiques cultivate verbal communication skills to foster a facility with language of art and design; basic computer skills are introduced in the creation of an online portfolio.

Notes: No previous art experience is necessary.
