A survey of the visual arts and architecture, focusing on artistic elements, design and function in different eras, cultures, and traditions (was ART 120).
Drawing as an act of seeing, selecting and translating onto a two-dimensional surface. Students learn to see, represent, and interpret the world around them using both traditional and experimental materials.
Applies skills learned in Drawing I with continued focus on observational drawing development. Conceptual ideas will be explored using both traditional and experimental methods and media. Prerequisite: ART 101 or instructor's permission.
Continuation of Drawing I and II. Introduction of color value. Advanced exploration of experimental media and techniques with an emphasis on presentation. Prerequisite: ART 102 or instructor's permission.
Introductory course focusing on the exploration of the elements and principles of design used in two-dimensional problem solving. Exercises begin with interpretation and translation, progressing to abstraction, and conclude with a series of variations on a visual theme.
A survey of the visual arts and architecture from the Medieval period to the end of the Baroque/Rococo period in Europe.
Introduction to techniques in painting using acrylics. Color theory, mixing colors, and application of elements of design are explored. Influences and contributions of various artists and cultures to painting will be discussed.
Investigation of painting tools and materials, styles and techniques. Organization of painting content, selection of subjects, social aspects and individual concepts will be discussed and reviewed. Demonstration and studio work time to develop skills. Prerequisite: ART 150 or instructor's permission.
Continuation of ART 151 with an emphasis on the development of a series. Prerequisite: ART 151.
Continuation of ART 152 with emphasis on independent research, large format work and development of style. Prerequisite: ART 152
Focus on hand building form. Materials and techniques of clay and glaze. An exploration and research in clay methods, design elements and 3-D composition. Influences and contributions of various artists and cultures will be explored.
Intro to basic elements and principles of design as applied to jewelry. Projects focus on the application of basic fabrication techniques of sawing, piercing, filing, soldering and buffing. Emphasis on creativity and quality crafting of fine art jewelry.
Studio course. Continuation of ART 175/176 with an emphasis on design and creation of jewelry or small sculptural forms using multiple construction techniques. Focus is on limited edition forms, interchangeable piece construction and thematic design applications. Prerequisite: ART 176 or instructor's permission.
Three-dimensional expression using clay for modeling and construction: Includes staining, glazing, and firing of student projects. Projects explore elements of design and 3-D composition. Influences and contributions of various cultures explored.
Graphic design, its history, imaging and the elements and principles of digital design in visual communication. An introduction to computer graphic design production tools and processes in visual illustration.
Intermediate and advanced graphic design problems involving research, planning, and implementation of development ideas. The production processes, tools, and mechanisms in graphic design. Prerequisite: ART 225 or instructor's permission.
