Studio artists can enrich their visual message by understanding the principles and elements of design and incorporating them into their work. In this course the instructor discusses the design process and its effect on art making. In two-dimensional projects you work with the principles of balance, harmony, and rhythm and experiment with line, shape, texture, color, and illusion using a variety of materials, including graphite and colored pencil, pen and ink, acrylic paints, and collage. You gain an understanding of design as it relates to fine art and explore personal themes using the design vocabulary introduced in the course.
