ARTS 105 — Introduction to 2-D Art Foundations (3 Credits, Fall/Spring/Summer)
This course begins the basic exploration of how choices are made in the construction of visual communications. The elements of art are discussed and then applied to principles of design in order to solve problems in 2D (two-dimensional) media. Students will also be introduced to conceptual issues in the visual arts and develop critical and analytical skills in verbal and written forms. This course will help students to become aware of the influence visual imagery has, not only on culture and society, but also on their own work. (This CWI course meets Idaho State Board of Education GEM competency requirements for GEM 5 - Humanistic and Artistic Ways of Knowing.) . (1 lecture hours, 4 lab hours, 3 credits)
