| This course introduces students to the elements and principles of art which fashion the visual world around us. This course will aid in the development of basic problem solving skills used in communicating visually as an artist. Emphasis will be given to the study of two-dimensional structure to develop an understanding of why images evoke unique perceptions and psychological reactions. Each Student will develop a working vocabulary of design allowing creation, interpretation, and critical thinking and analysis (critiques) within all fields of the visual arts. Projects focus primarily on two dimensions and will be applied to studies in black and white as well as various experiments in color theory. (Required of all art majors) |
