Description:

Prerequisite(s): ART 101 This course continues to build upon students' abilities to draw by exploring the nature and use of tone, color, and composition in drawing. It emphasizes methods of creating tone, ways to use luminance as an organizational element, and the importance of thinking critically. Additionally, the course will introduce students to a variety of classical tonal systems and tonal illusions, including atmospheric perspective, sculptural modeling, basic direct lighting, lighting position relative to viewpoint, light intensity, local value, and reflectivity. Students will then explore the artistic use of color. The course will cover systems and traditions of organizing hue and saturation, and it will examine methods of building from tonal preliminary studies. Students also will explore classical forms of compositional organization such as symmetry, asymmetry, golden mean, and figure-ground relationships.
