FOU 114 - 2D Workshop

2 credits C
To develop a critical understanding of basic two dimensional design, students explore the processes of idea generation, research, and organization of fundamental visual principles. Comprehension is facilitated by direct implementation in a single medium. Students pursue the development of visual principles in one of the following studio areas: painting, photography, printmaking, illustration, textile design, or digital media. The studio dynamics allow for intense interactions with faculty and fellow students, as well as the enhancement of critical and creative problem solving. Emphasis is placed on constructive critical analysis, visual perception, and the relationship between sensory and reasoning activities.
