A foundation course offering fundamentals of design critical to artists, designers, graphic artists and all interested in knowing how to organize visual information. Through a series of lectures, studio exercises and home assignments students gain a working understanding of the Basic Elements, Principles of Design, Color Theory, as well as Concepts and Critical Thinking. By working observationally in a variety of media (e.g. charcoal, graphite, acrylics) increased visual sensitivity broadens creative options. Weekly critiques offer students the opportunity to verbalize knowledge gained from each project. Students may build a portfolio of creative and diverse works.
