Introduces students to the fundamental principles of two-dimensional art and design. This is a large lecture-based course with smaller art studio-based sections (60% lecture/40% studio). Lectures, discussions and studio sections explore fundamental 2D drawing concepts of line, color shape, value, space, form, unity, balance, scale, proportion and texture. Through lectures, discussion and studio projects students learn to create and understand complex concepts in two dimensions.
