Principles & Elements of Design

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to studio art for the general student and assumes no prior experience in art. Through the development of critical thinking and technical skills, students will learn how to visualize, create, and evaluate a wide variety of visual material. We will apply the principles and elements of design in studio art practices. In addition to studio practices such as technical demonstrations, studio assignments, group critiques, and collaborative assignments we will also engage theory of art and design through readings, presentations, and/or discussions.
