Lecture Content

Introduction, course orientation. Introduction to the design process and development of skills using a variety of media. Presentation of design ideas in written, oral and visual form.  Recognize the theoretical concepts and terminology common to all two-dimensional art activities, including the basic elements of line, shape, value, texture, color, and spatial illusion. Problem solving visual exercises that develop two-dimensional awareness and require exploration and manipulation of the basic two-dimensional elements.

Lab Content

Assignments based upon the elements of design. Assignments based upon the principles of design. Problem solving visual exercises that develop two-dimensional awareness and require exploration and manipulation of the basic two-dimensional elements for design related fields. Course projects that explore the dynamic relationships of two-dimensional elements and organizing principles. Development of skills using a variety of artistic materials, techniques and tools appropriate to an introductory study in color and design, including but not exclusive to pencils, markers, inks, paints, glues and cutting tools. Present, discuss, critique and evaluate their own work, as well as those of their classmates. Demonstration of organizing visual elements and principles in the composing of designs, which include use of: Elements: line value color shape texture Design principles Unity Emphasis Proportion / scale Rhythm Balance   Color Systems and attributes (additive/ subtractive) Hue/ local color Value Chroma/ saturation Transparency/ opacity/ undertones Warm/ cool Color wheel Color schemes and relationships Complements, split-complements Triad High/low contrast Monochromatic Analogous Neutralized color by complementary mixing. Value relationship (grayscale) Achromatic De-saturation of color into tints, tones, shades
