First Year Studio Two-dimensional
The First Year Studio Two-dimensional sequence focuses on the development of representational accuracy, linear perspective and expressive qualities of line, while exploring conceptual ideas in drawing. As the sequence progresses studio problems expand to include a careful study of chiaroscuro, understanding form and space through the visual element of value, and an in-depth study of color theory. Problems are both design-oriented and representational in nature. PRE ART COURSES ART 2200, 2250 First Year Studio Program 2D 2200: This course concentrates on line drawing with emphasis on representational accuracy, linear perspective, hand-eye coordination and skill, expressive qualities of line, and exploration of conceptual ideas in drawing. The final third of the semester shifts the emphasis to a careful study of chiaroscuro, its theory and application. This course is required of all beginning art majors and is the prerequisite to Spring semester First Year Studio 2D. This sequence should be taken along with the 3-D Design sequence and First Year Studio Visual Language. 2250: The second semester of the First Year Studio 2D Program continues the two-dimensional description with form and space using the visual element of value. The final two-thirds of the semester concentrates 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.
