Two-Dimensional Form & Surface

Catalog description

Two-Dimensional Form and Space is a first-year art course that introduces students to basic design concepts with a focus on how to work with two-dimensional compositional arrangements, illusionary space, depth, and texture. It is a foundation-level requirement in art departments at any transfer school - students considering a major in painting/drawing, printmaking, photography, art education, digital arts, graphic design, or video game design should start with this course. Students learn how to develop strong, imaginative compositions based on the creative process: brainstorming, problem-solving, experimentation with traditional and nontraditional materials and techniques, and the effective use of the language of art (visual elements and design principles as they pertain to two-dimensional images and surfaces).
