1512. Foundation Drawing (3 s.h.) S. $.

(Formerly: FND PRG 0011.)

A continued introduction to drawing, building upon Foundation Drawing 1511 (0001), with more advanced concepts, techniques and formal issues. This course introduces color as it relates to drawing.

1521. 2D Foundation Principles (3 s.h.) F. $.

(Formerly: FND PRG 0002.)

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of visual language, including formal, technical, and conceptual aspects of image making in two-dimensions. The emphasis is on acquiring a basic vocabulary for the discussion of 2D art and design across media, and projects focus on the construction of meaning through a variety of representational strategies. Projects in this course are carried out in black and white to emphasize value, contrast, and figure ground relationships.

Note: Enrollment is limited to students accepted for Tyler BFA programs.

1522. 2D Foundation Principles (3 s.h.) S. $.

(Formerly: FND PRG 0012.)

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of visual language, including formal, technical, and conceptual aspects of image making in two-dimensions. The emphasis is on acquiring a basic vocabulary for the discussion of 2D art and design across media, and projects focus on the construction of meaning through a variety of representational strategies. Each 2D project provides a unique theoretical and practical context from which students are introduced to the mechanics of color.

Note: Enrollment limited to students accepted for Tyler BFA programs.
