Two-Dimensional Design Foundations

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the primary visual concepts of design in theory and practice, with an emphasis on the role of color. Starting with the most rudimentary concepts and vocabulary, students develop their ability to create compelling two-dimensional designs. Students gain hands-on experience by solving visual problems through experimentation with composition and proportion. Acquired skills in paint-mixing and craft are emphasized, as well as an understanding of descriptive vocabulary terms in color and design.
