ART 1040 - Basic Design

For the general University student who desires instruction in the fundamentals of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design. The primary concern will be the application of composition as it relates to all aspects of artistic production. A variety of media will be explored--collage, assemblage, and drawing (pencil, pen, etc.). Problems will be given which investigate negative and positive space relationships, symmetrical and asymmetrical composition, and color-design theory. Concentrates on pure qualities of shape, line, balance, and texture.
