This laboratory course is a co-requisite for General Chemistry – 1110. One three hour laboratory meeting per week and a total of 15 meetings per semester.

This is an in­tro­duc­tory course de­signed to ex­plore the basic tools, tech­niques and prin­ci­ples of draw­ing. Stu­dents will de­velop an un­der­stand­ing of the five basic per­cep­tual skills of draw­ing: The Per­cep­tion of Edges, The Per­cep­tion of Spaces, The Per­cep­tion of Re­la­tion­ships, The Per­cep­tion of Light and Shadow, and The Per­cep­tion of the Whole Form. This will be con­tin­ued with an-depth study of clas­si­cal draw­ing prin­ci­ples crit­i­cal to achiev­ing re­al­ism in draw­ing. Con­cepts such as Com­po­si­tion, Pro­por­tion and Per­spec­tive will be cov­ered. Stu­dents will learn to fur­ther ren­der forms through analy­sis of light and shadow and by uti­liz­ing the 5-value sys­tem.

This is an introductory course designed to explore the basic tools, techniques and principles of drawing. Students will develop an understanding of the five basic perceptual skills of drawing: The Perception of Edges, The Perception of Spaces, The Perception of Relationships, The Perception of Light and Shadow, and The Perception of the Whole Form. This will be continued with an-depth study of classical drawing principles critical to achieving realism in drawing. Concepts such as Composition, Proportion and Perspective will be covered. Students will learn to further render forms through analysis of light and shadow and by utilizing the 5-value system.

This be­gin­ning pho­tog­ra­phy course ex­plores the foun­da­tional con­cepts of light and ex­po­sure. Using dSLR cam­eras, pro­fes­sional light­ing equip­ment and soft­ware, the stu­dent de­vel­ops com­po­si­tional skills and the abil­ity to con­trol pho­to­graphic style to cre­ate vi­su­ally en­gag­ing pho­tographs.

This beginning photography course explores the foundational concepts of light and exposure. Using dSLR cameras, professional lighting equipment and software, the student develops compositional skills and the ability to control photographic style to create visually engaging photographs.

Basic con­cepts re­lated to the two fun­da­men­tal dig­i­tal graphic forms (raster and vec­tor graph­ics) and learn­ing best uses and prac­tices for each. This course cov­ers basic dig­i­tal imag­ing ter­mi­nol­ogy and tech­niques in­clud­ing size, res­o­lu­tion, color space, file el­e­ments, mea­sure­ments, file for­mats, and scan­ning soft­ware and hard­ware. Class pro­jects re­quire stu­dents to ex­plore the mean­ing of com­mu­ni­ca­tion through de­sign and how it cor­re­lates with client sat­is­fac­tion and tar­get au­di­ence. Stu­dents be­come pro­fi­cient with both raster and vec­tor ap­pli­ca­tions, such as Adobe Pho­to­shop and Adobe Il­lus­tra­tor.

Basic concepts related to the two fundamental digital graphic forms (raster and vector graphics) and learning best uses and practices for each. This course covers basic digital imaging terminology and techniques including size, resolution, color space, file elements, measurements, file formats, and scanning software and hardware. Class projects require students to explore the meaning of communication through design and how it correlates with client satisfaction and target audience. Students become proficient with both raster and vector applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
