Three-Dimensional Design

Is a basic foundation course that introduces students to space shaping through fundamental problem-solving exercises. Students deploy simple tools and inexpensive materials to develop an awareness of the visual elements of art and principles of organization as they apply to the dynamic aspects of three-dimensionality. Students employ form, space, line, light, texture, color and value, as well as time and movement to produce effective design studies. To achieve visual unity within these problem solving assignments, students learn to utilize the organizational principles of design that include repetition, variety, rhythm, emphasis and economy, visual balance and proportion.
