More Details:

Students will explore the elements and principles of design as the foundation needed to create conceptually and aesthetically pleasing plastic, graphic and media arts. Students will gain the vocabulary needed to objectively critique formal aspects of art and understand how their personal point of view can be expressed beyond literalism with the use of the elements and principles of design. Cultivating creativity, problem solving and developing critical thinking skills, as applied to the plastic, graphic and media arts, will be incorporated through readings, journaling, critiques, and individual art pieces. Students will also gain an understanding of the critique process through reading and actual critiques.
