VPS 107 - Design Fundamentals: Beneath the Surface

Three Credits
Fall Semester

There is no one way to solve a design problem, but visual communication does rely on basic grammar familiar to artists and designers alike. Hands-on exercise exploring the elements of art introduces students to key components of visual expression, while compositional principles elucidate thought processes of artists in all media from painting to installation art. Command of basic visual literacy skills enables students to be more articulate and increasingly imaginative, as they encounter problems in both the fine and applied arts.
