ARTS 140 — 3D Design I: Sculpture Studio
This course introduces the fundamentals of three - dimensional design and will ask stu dents to construct and question visual relationships. Emphasis will be on developing an understanding of the basic elements of design: line, plane, volume, mass, movement, shape, form, space, value, texture and color. We will look closely at design organiz ational principles such as proportion, repetition, rhythm, emphasis, balance, symmetry and hierarchy. A range of materials (paper, cardboard, clay, plaster, wire and found object) and processes (constructing, modeling, carving, casting and fabricating) wil l be utilized to introduce a variety of approaches to 3D problem solving. Students will also be introduced to three -dimensional critical vocabulary where focus will be on communicating ideas and forming distinctions and connections through verbal and written formats. This class is open to all levels and from all departments within the college community. Prerequisite(s): none Corequisite(s): none
