2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the basic Principles and Elements of Design and Composition using a variety of Printmaking techniques. The term Evidence is reflective of the use of different matrices to create an original range of marks that are then inked and printed onto a substrate, such as paper. Topics such as unity and variety, balance, scale, proportion, and emphasis, as well as line, shape, value, and texture are addressed through thematic assignments using monoprints, collagraphs, and relief prints. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.

2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of Illusion through principles and elements of design and composition using a variety of basic Painting techniques. Illusions of space and form are created by the skilled application of these principles and techniques. The course focuses on color theory, the application of color, and use of materials. Projects exploring color, space, balance, emphasis, rhythm, and value will lead students though a series of 2D projects that encourage independent decision-making, analysis, and effective use of terminology. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.

2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of illusion through principles and elements of design using the technique of Drawing. Mapping is a process of abstraction and translation of the physical world into two dimensions. Principles including scale, balance, emphasis, unity and variety, value, line, shape, and texture will be explored through a range of monochromatic drawing media, including graphite pencil, charcoal, and ink. Students will learn and use beginning drawing skills in a series of projects that focus on independent decision-making, analysis, and the effective use of terminology. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.

2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to basic 2D visual design principles and vocabulary through the use of common digital creation tools. The thoughtful organization of design elements is the matrix from which effective communication emerges. Through projects exploring the illusion of depth, movement, and direction in 2D compositional space, this course exposes students to the methods, techniques, and technical skills involved in the integration of the computer as a valuable tool in the process of creating art, design, and graphic communication. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.

2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of seeing through the use of fundamentals of 2-D design and the camera. Seeing formal and conceptual relationships is one of the foundations of the visual arts. This course introduces camera use and techniques as a way to codify and utilize basic design theories to make effective images. Assignments will explore shape/form, texture, value, unity/variety, perspective, figure/ground, color, and time translated into two-dimensions, while helping students begin to understand the conceptual possibilities of photography. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.
-
2.00 Credits
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to fundamental 3-D design through the use of clay. Assignments will explore visual organization using scale, multiples/repetition, pattern, actual and visual texture, and spatial perception. The practical and conceptual aspects of the sense of touch will be explored. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding how materials and process affect the development of visual art. Prerequisites: Full Major or Intermediate or Minor status in BFA Studio Art OR Full Major status in BFA Graphic Design.
-
4.00 Credits
This course builds on the foundation and knowledge gained from ART 2200. The second semester of drawing continues the two-dimensional description with form and space using the visual element of value. The final two-thirds of the semester concentrate on color. Students begin with basic color mixing and work through a series of color-theory problems dealing with relativity of color, color illusions, psychological effects, and ideas pertinent to basic color harmony. Problems are both design-oriented and representational in nature. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (ART 2200 OR (ART 2204 AND ART 2205)).
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to fundamental 3-D design issues and begins explorations into materials and process, as well as tools and construction methods. Projects focus on 3-D formal applications of line, plane, form, and space, with investigations of positive/negative, interior/exterior, volume/mass, multiple/repetition, scale, color/surface, texture, etc. Pre-art major class. Offered Fall semester. Prerequisites: Pre-Major status OR Intermediate Status OR Full Major Status in Art.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course builds on the foundation and knowledge gained from ART 2300. Designed to extend and broaden formal applications of materials and processes, involving a variety of approaches. Students are familiarized with basic wood-shop techniques. Students are expected to engage in topical discussions, group critiques, and begin to establish a personal vocabulary. Pre-art major class. Offered Spring semester. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in ART 2300.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce 1st Year Studio pre-art majors to basic terms, methods, and concepts in the visual arts. Slide lectures will feature contemporary art -- primarily work of the past three decades. the hundreds of images to be discussed during the semester will represent a wide variety of experiments in the disciplines students will investigate as they move through the studio art program. Prerequisites: Pre-Major status OR Intermediate Status OR Full Major Status in Art.
