Survey of Western Art from 1300 to the Present

Principles of three-dimensional design. Course covers an analysis of form and space. Topics include: hollow forms both geometric and organic; architectonic organization of space; light and shadow; geometric solids; the modular unit; form and structure in nature; linear forms with membranes; movement. Applications to packaging, architecture, sculpture and environmental design and graphics. Materials and inherent properties governing their use in form and space.

This basic design and color theory course explores graphic communication through the understanding of the elements and principles of design, as well as the design process, including idea development through final execution. Students develop basic skills in two-dimensional design, color and content creation while employing the design process of research, sketching and experimentation. Communication designers use the concepts explored in this course in disciplines such as advertising, graphic design, web design, illustration, broadcast design, photography, and game design.

This course includes selected biological concepts, including the chemical basis of life, cell structure and division, a broad survey of the major systems of human body with a special emphasis on human health and disease, human evolution and ecology. This course is designed to provide a working knowledge of life science to students who do not plan to continue in sciences that will be helpful in making informed decisions on health and environment.
