Focus is on the development and utilization of drawing techniques using a variety of media and on the organization of the elements and principles of design within a work of art: 

  • Elements of Design: line, shape, texture, value, color and form.
  • Principles of Design: unity, harmony, contrast, balance, repetition, emphasis, variety and proportion.

 Art 20S (1.0 credit)

Art 30S (1.0 credit) 

Art 30S is an extension of the study of the elements and principles of design and their use in the visual arts. Students will create both two and three-dimensional works of art through a combination of directed and independent study. Students will also critique works of art, with some exploration of art history through biographical studies of influential artists.

Art 40S (1.0 credit)
