BASIC DESIGN

Art 125A-Basic Design is a beginning level course which covers the fundamentals of color and design. Through creative projects, slide-illustrated lectures, demonstrations, and videos, students explore visual dynamics and learn to give form to their ideas on the two-dimensional plane. Creative projects are given on a weekly or biweekly basis depending their complexity and the amount of time needed for their completion. The course covers both traditional and contemporary design media. This particular class is supported by a Title III grant which aims to enhance computer literacy among students. For this purpose, the students have created in collaboration with one another under the guidance of the instructor to build a Web site on Asian Art. The students applied the principles of design covered in the class to the organization of this web site. During the Fall semester, the class met on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in room A102 in the Creative Arts Building.
