Catalog Description:

ART2135 - Foundation Design 3D (3 hrs.)

[KRSN ART2010]
This foundation studio course will provide a solid background in compositional principles and design vocabulary as they apply to three-dimensional problems. The course will focus on the development of research skills, technical applications, execution skills, perceptual understandings, conceptual ideation, plus visual and verbal communication and presentation skills. Studio activities will be developmental and sequential in nature to foster creative thinking and problem solving skills. The course is required of all art and graphic design majors. Prerequisite: ART2130 Foundation Design 2D.

Course Classification:

Studio

Prerequisites:

ART2130 Foundation Design 2D

Controlling Purpose:

This foundation studio course will provide a solid background in compositional principles and design vocabulary as they apply to three-dimensional problems.  The course will focus on the development of research skills, technical applications, execution skills, perceptual understandings, conceptual ideation, plus visual and verbal communication and presentation skills.  Studio activities will be developmental and sequential in nature to foster creative thinking and problem solving skills.

Learner Outcomes:

The student will:

  1. Understand and use the vocabulary of visual design in discussing works of art.
  2. Understand and apply the general concepts of visual design to the creation of works of art.
  3. Show evidence through application the use of the elements of 3-D design.
  4. Show evidence through application the use of the principles of design.
  5. Develop craft skills in the creation of works of art.

Core Outcomes:

The learning outcomes and competencies detailed in this course outline or syllabus meet or exceed the learning outcomes and competencies specified by the Kansas Core Outcomes Groups project for this course as approved by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Unit Outcomes for Criterion Based Evaluation:

The following defines the minimum core content not including the final examination period. Instructors may add other content as time allows.
