CFA AR 123 Fundamentals of Design is an introductory course where students learn the basic principles of design, composition and form making. Students investigate each of these topics holistically, beginning with their historical origination, contemporary application and finally in the context of one's own visual arts practice. Projects and class meetings are structured to help students develop a design process and critique skills. The goal of this course is to provide a rigorous understanding of these foundational principles and skills, which will then serve as a strong base for future visual arts course work. Required for freshmen intending to major in Graphic Design; open to School of Visual Art freshmen and sophomores. 2 credits. 3 teaching contact hours per week. Spring semester.
