ART 245 B - I-Pad - Sketchpad: Hands on Design

3 Credit(s)

This course provides a studio introduction to two-dimensional design for art and non-art majors. Using I-pad touch screen technology as well as traditional art media and techniques, this course explores and applies the basic elements and principles of art and design that are the foundation of all two-dimensional imagery. In an approach that involves a back and forth integration of I-pad techniques with art media, students discover how the boundaries between technology and art media can be permeated to create surprising, layered, complex and unique designs. Students are guided in the acquisition of knowledge, skill, and creative and aesthetic awareness with emphasis on development of increased understanding and appreciation of the world of visual art and their own capacity for generating original works of design.

Prerequisite(s): None.
