2 Dimensional Design

Two-dimensional art is art that is flat, such as drawings, paintings, and prints.  Course work will be organized in a sequential format that encompasses art history, art analysis, aesthetics, and art production.  Students will be encouraged to express themselves while experimenting with a variety of drawing media.  Basic understanding of color theory and painting materials such as, watercolors and tempra paints will be introduced.  Fundamental printmaking techniques such as linoleum, mono-prints, tessellations, gyotaku, and lithography will be explored.  The focus of this class will be on creating art while making connections to historically significant works of art.
