    This course provides a survey of the major systems of linear expression. Through group projects in class, and individual work at home, students experiment with twelve drawing systems. Each system is related to its stylistic origin and historic context through reading, class lectures, and slide examples.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Through twelve projects in acrylic paints, students will explore their own sense of beauty and visual expression. Some projects concentrate on pure visual structure, some on emotional expression, and some on image making (landscapes, faces, still life). Realism and "drawing ability" are irrelevant, and students can enter the course at any level, from beginner to advanced.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Design is the underlying discipline of creating visual expression. The knowledge of how to use design elements (shape, form, balance, rhythm, texture, color and pattern) and an understanding of the proportions which balance them are a means of developing the students' eyes for design. Emphasis will be focused on developing creative visual problem solving skills and gaining insight for design.

    (Design students who need to meet this requirement should take GRPH 2130 Techniques of Raster Imaging) This course is a follow-up studio course that continues to solidify and expand the basic drawing concepts that students explored in ARTS1100 Principles of Drawing. The student will be working with wet media techniques (watercolors, oils, markers) as they develop their drawing, and painting techniques in creating 2D objects and more complex subject matter. Students also learn the relationship of plain objects, figures and animals, and their relationship to an environment or composition. Prerequisite: ARTS1100.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The study of color supports the understanding of all visual media. This studio based course features a hands-on approach to color study as students work with color hues, values, color harmony, and its importance in design and graphic communications. Color theory covers the basic principles of color usage, color harmony, color psychology, and different systems of organization. It is a foundation course for students involved with visual design in color.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course concentrates on the preparation and professional layout of presentation boards using a variety of rendering techniques and color media. Emphasis is on rendering one and two point perspective drawings for use in illustrating interiors, exteriors and furniture designs.

  • 3.00 Credits

    The student will enhance their drawing skills by drawing the human figure using live models. Students will study proportion, light and shade, simple anatomy of the human form, and develop a basic understanding of the human figure inaction and in motion Prerequisite: ARTS1100.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The philosophical and intellectual investigation of beauty as perceived in the modern age. This course will discuss prints, paintings, sculpture, architecture, utilitarian objects, advertising, photography, film, and computer imagery. Emphasis will be on structure and the connections between different time periods, cultures, and media. Prerequisites: ARTS1002 or ARTS1200.
  • 3.00 Credits

    (Graphic Design students should take GRPH4520 Sr. Team Project) The Integrated Team Project (ITP) is the first half of a two semester, senior program that concludes with the Capstone Project (ARTS4001). The ITP course involves students working together as teams with local area clients on real-world projects. Student teams will work closely and interact with their assigned client to provide graphic design or interior space planning, web site design, and more. Supervised by design program faculty, the teams will be responsible for the design and production (final production files / boards) of their work which is presented to the client. During the first half of the semester, the ITP course will develop and increase the students' levels of sophistication in creative problem-solving and client interaction. ITP will push the students to further develop advanced levels of conceptual and creative skills in the development of their projects. Prerequisite: 90 credits of completed design course work.
