AR 306 Concepts in 2D Design

(Lab Fee) A blended lecture and practicum-based course focused on the formal elements of design and how they work with and are applied in a two dimensional manner. A variety of 2D design concepts and tools are used to develop visual literacy and deepen appreciation of the role of design in art and culture. Students create projects that explore elements and principles of design and gestalt theory, 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 the language of art and design, and basic computer skills are introduced in the creation of an online portfolio.
