ART 115 2-Dimensional Design
Using black and white media as well as color paint, students explore basic concepts in 2D design during this seven-week course. The formal elements, their qualities and interactions (line, shape, value, texture, mass, color, pictorial space, etc.) are investigated in the creative pursuit of compositional variety, visual cohesiveness, and issues of meaningful content. Images and issues from a wide range of perceptual, cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts will be examined. Recommended for non-majors or those with little previous experience as well as those who declare the studio major after their first semester at Hartwick. Suitable for non-majors.
