Course Description: An exploration of various technical methods of construction, production, and assembly used in the creation of art forms (2D, 3D, and time-based), integrated with an introduction to and application of the visual vocabulary of art (visual elements, principles of design, color theory).

• Line
• Color Theory
• Visual Field
• Planar Forms
• Volume & Space
• Motion & Time

• Understand and apply core visual vocabulary–including: Visual Field, Motion, Descriptors, Color, Gestalt, and Depth Cues.
• Experience a variety of techniques and materials: 2D, 3D, and digital.
• Analyze and solve problems: addressing projects with strict or open-ended visual parameters, pre-visualization, expanding upon initial concepts, the value of artistic research, and navigating technical issues of construction/assembly.
• Continue to develop creative discipline and artistic experimentation, including a rigorous personal work ethic.
• Build comfort in the process of analysis and critique: the ability to objectively and constructively critique the results of your own work, as well as that of your peers.
