3. Basic Studies (ARTF)
1301 Basic Design I (0-6)
(Common Course Number ARTS 1311)
A study of the basic visual elements and materials of two-dimensional design, including value, color, space, and their dynamics. Should be taken concurrently with ARTF 1302. Six hours of studio per week. Laboratory fee required.
1302 Basic Drawing I (0-6)
(Common Course Number ARTS 1316)
Emphasis on basic aesthetic and technical drawing skills including proportion, scale, and the control of illusionistic space, along with compositional structure and effectiveness. Both line and value are explored. Should be taken concurrently with ARTF 1301. Six hours in studio per week. Laboratory fee required.
1303 Basic Design II (0-6)
(Common Course Number ARTS 1312)
An exploration of the elements of three-dimensional design involving both aesthetic and structural principles. Students will develop projects with a variety of materials and concepts to be determined by the instructor. Prerequisites: ARTF 1301 and ARTF 1302. ARTF 1304 should be taken concurrently with ARTF 1303. Laboratory fee required.
1304 Basic Drawing II (0-6)
(Common Course Number ARTS 1317)
A continuation of basic drawing aesthetics and skills, with added emphasis on composition and content. Images from both imaginary and historically based sources are investigated. Six hours in studio per week. Prerequisite: ARTF 1302. ARTF 1303 should be taken concurrently with ARTF 1304. Laboratory fee required.
3315 Advanced Design (0-6)
In-depth study of the fundamental elements and principles of two and three dimensional design. Emphasis on individual direction and self-expression. Prerequisite: Junior standing. Laboratory fee required.
