| This course is a guided investigation of basic concepts and techniques of visual organization in two dimensions. Students will develop an awareness of the formal elements of composition, a working knowledge of their fundamental principles and sensitivity toward the interrelationship between form and content. Students will familiarize themselves with the basic vocabulary necessary to verbalize their creative process and critical thinking. Two-Dimensional Design requires substantial time toward the completion of class projects, both in and outside of scheduled class time. Two-Dimensional Design prepares students with the foundation to address compositional problems encountered in other two-dimensional studio courses such as those involving photography, drawing, painting, and printmaking. |
