Design Fundamentals is an introduction to the basic elements and processes of visual communications. The goal of this course is to provide students with a working understanding of perception relevant to the visual arts + design and the production of visual art products. Coursework will investigate design elements and vocabulary for critical purposes, through exercises that improve visual and manual dexterity. Students are asked to complete exercises that will encompass tone, color and properties of color, design elements (format, points, line, pattern, proportion, scale, shape, texture), interpretation of space (edge, perspective, dimension), and conceptualization. Students will explore a variety of media: gouache and brush, pen + ink, collage, basic photography, computer and Xerox manipulation and printouts.
This blog will chronicle the progress of the student designers.
