2-D Design and Color

Students will explore two-dimensional design problems through controlled and experimental sequences of exercises in drawing, abstract black and white composition, and basic color theory and its application to design. Emphasis is placed upon developing a student's personal appreciation and creative expression rather than professional skill. Students will learn ways of expressing themselves creatively through two-dimensional space through the exploration of visual design elements such as line, form, scale, color, texture as well as explore design principles of surface organization such as repetition, balance, rhythm, variety, and emphasis. Students will learn to mix a calibrated range of tones and colors and gain experience using value, hue and saturation with paint and collage. This course fosters the utilization of intuitive judgements of serious play. No requisites. J fall.
