COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1.  Define perception and awareness of visual elements such as form, texture, space and motion.
2.  Utilize the vocabulary of three dimensional design.
3.  Create three dimensional forms by employing a variety of design tools and materials.
 

Objectives: Untitled document
1.Develop perception and awareness of visual elements and relationships such as form, rhythm, scale and repetition.
2.Employ the vocabulary of three dimensional design to describe forms.
3.Demonstrate hand skills for basic various design tools and media; hard, soft, flat and linear.
4.Employ analytical operations of two dimensional and three dimensional sketches to build forms in three dimensional space.
5.Develop aesthetic judgments through class critiques.
6.Demonstrate a disciplined creative ability through the development of disciplined work habits, time management skills, and the practice of hand skills, as well as risk-taking and experimentation.
7.Examine and analyze examples of historical models in architecture, sculpture and design.
8.Define health and safety issues that could arise from the use of three dimensional design materials such as mat  knives, rulers, compasses and other three dimensional design materials to demonstrate safe use.
