ART 115H Core Studio: 2D Design-Honors

Emphasis on visual elements and principles in 2D media and processes as related to drawing, painting, photography, graphic design and other 2D media. Students will create and analyze projects that demonstrate critical and creative thinking and knowledge of 2D Design theory and practice. Students will participate in critiques, discussions and presentations of the historical and contemporary context of design. This honors class delves deeper into course topics and requires a high level of student motivation; the pace may be faster than non-honors courses. See lanecc.edu/honors for information. Students cannot receive credit for both ART 115 and ART 115H.
