3-D Form & Space

Catalog description

Three-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 actual space, texture, and mass. It is typically a foundation-level requirement in art departments at any transfer school - students considering a major in sculpture, ceramics, glass, jewelry/metals, fiber arts, art education, theatrical set design, film production, architectural design, industrial design, product 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 three-dimensional objects and space).
