Design

Basic design is a sequence of beginning level courses, offering an introduction to the fundamental principles of design practiced in the visual arts. These courses are part lecture and part studio work as they explore design, composition, and the expression of visual ideas. Design classes create strong foundation skills for those interested in pursuing other art classes such as drawing, painting and glass.

Design classes can be taken singly or in any order. ART 115 focuses on black and white and two dimensional design. ART116 focuses on color theory and how color relates to artwork. ART117 focuses on 3-D design and sculpture.
