ART 1012 Introduction to Visual Language, Design (3 credits)

This course is an overview of the skills and considerations inherent in 2D design. It is an entry level studio course that provides a step-by-step approach to understanding what causes one to look at a painting, photograph, or any 2-dimensional media, and what is needed to maintain visual interest.  We will develop the fundamentals of 2D design while exploring a variety of media from line and shape with pen and pencil, to readable imagery with acrylic paint, photography, and digital editing. 

ART 1503 Introduction to Visual Language, Drawing (3 credits)

The act of drawing is at its core an attempt to understand, document, and meditate upon our environment. It allows us to express ideas in visual form. This course in the fundamentals of drawing will provide you with the basic technical and conceptual tools to create accurate and compelling images. We will explore the elements and principles of design by working in black and white, color, and a variety of materials and techniques.  Subjects will include still life, interior and/or exterior spaces, live models, and exploratory abstractions.
