ART 250 Call #55546
1-5 pm MTWTHF; 6-8 pm S · SEIGFRED 408
Undergrad. This goals of this course are to: explore the concept of visual language through design process and principles,
investigate form and content - aesthetic expression and visual communication,
introduce and/or further develop the use of tools, materials and methods of the graphic designer.
The course offers an investigation of the creation of meaning through visual form. Students will explore the relationships between form, process, perception, and intention while investigating meaning through typography, image generation and manipulation, sign/symbol/icon, and visual contrasts. The dynamics of two dimensional imagery in both representational and abstract contexts will be the focus of study. Principles of composition, expression and spatial representation are addressed. Students will develop critical and anayltical skills and will establish a basic visual vocabulary.
This class will challenge students to question and revise their expectations about how images work and how meanings are communicated. This will build a foundation for a critical and formal understanding of many disciplines. Technical issues, problem-solving strategies and questions of content are explored through rigorous study with a variety of tools and media. Conceptual projects ask students to explore the multiple contexts where visual and design issues intersect while guiding them to position themselves in culture at large. Program/Supply Fee: $60.00.
