ART 129 — Three-Dimensional Design
Introduction to the fundamental principles of three-dimensional composition emphasizing the formal elements and language of design. Basic visual, tactile and conceptual methods of defining space are examined in a series of compositional exercises. A variety of materials are used to explore the elements of line, shape, mass, texture and volume through the application of design principles such as balance, emphasis, rhythm, harmony, contrast, repetition, proportion, scale and unity. The historical development of design and aesthetics is studied along with how social, political and cultural beliefs have influenced artists and design professionals. Assignments are non-technical and do not require prior knowledge of tools and equipment. This is a comprehensive introductory course that could lead to future study in a diverse range of art and design professions. (C-ID ARTS 101) (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3)
