FD 1020 - 2D Design: Elements + Principles
Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio
This freshman-level studio course introduces students to compositional aspects of two-dimensional work as they pertain to art and design practices through handmade practices and vector-based software. Through a variety of projects, students explore the fundamentals of visual organization and investigate methodologies of visual communication that include form, content, and culture. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have a greater understanding of how to develop and analyze two-dimensional compositions.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Define compositional aspects of two-dimensional work as they pertain to art and design practices using digital media.
- Apply methodologies of visual communication through design and analysis.
