ART 117 Core Studio: 3D Design

Beginning course focusing on the fundamental principles of 3D design for art and non-art majors. Students will create projects using various 3D processes, and materials to explore design elements that include form, balance, proportion, scale, contrast, tension, pattern, and positive/negative space. Students will participate in critiques, discussions and presentations of projects that demonstrate critical and creative thinking while incorporating art historical and/or contemporary art theory. A foundation course for students interested in Ceramics, Sculpture, Product Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Game Design, Animation, and other 3D design fields.
