ART102

This course is intended to introduce students to the basic elements of design in two-dimensional space. Using a series of progressive projects, assignments will feature basic formal elements and how they relate to graphic art. The organizing compositional principles of proportion, movement, tension, balance, rhythm, and harmony will be analyzed in examples of art. Discussions concerning line, plane, form, texture, color, time, and shape are studied individually and in combination for the final project. A student’s individual cultural background will be a resource for inspiration. Students can expect to work about eight hours each week outside of class on their project assignments. Recommend prior to Graphic Design, Printmaking, Photography, and Painting classes. Performance/skills course.
