Foundation Studio: Two Dimensional Design
This course explores the fundamental organizational systems of intentional visual expression through purposeful making of, and critical response to, traditional design concepts. The elements of art and the principles of design will be experienced through a range of media both tactile and digital, with emphasis on spatial perception, color theory, and visual communication.
Students will recognize and experience the core concepts and practices of visual communication through hands-on exercises and projects addressing observation and perception, composition, transformation and manipulation of the picture plane, sequence and narrative, and the physical and communicative properties of pigment and color.
Students will further engage these concepts through critical examination of images, texts, and objects representing a wide array of contemporary and historical visual culture.
