COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course presents students with the tools to deal with visual materials in a knowledgeable and
critical way and to obtain insight into the making and consuming of images. Students will use
problem-solving and critical thinking skills to develop artistic solutions based on their understanding of
basic concepts and principles of 2-D design, in actual and digital formats. Students will also use
experimentation and evaluation to develop awareness of their personal methodology and style within
the paradigm of contemporary art concepts. Through critiques and oral presentations, this class will
focus on improving oral communication skills using the art terminology that students learn throughout
the semester.
