(3 credits) The 2D Design: Theory and Application course has two goals. The first is to familiarize photography students with the elements and principles of design. This will be accomplished through the application of art theory to specific assigned problems. The second goal is to learn specific ways to think creatively and develop original, innovative ideas. In order to excel as an photographer, knowledge of art theory, while valuable, is not enough. Only by using your knowledge of design in unique and imaginative ways can the student hope to make an impression in any area of the arts. The assignments in this course will involve specific aspects of design and will teach students both the vocabulary and concepts of 2-dimensional design.
