Instructional materials fee required for this course and must be paid at registration. A study of the principles and practices of the use of design and color in the creation of 2-dimensional representational and non-representational art forms. Students are given projects with specific points of focus (e.g., line, shape, value, and color). The critique of these projects forms a basis for students aesthetic growth and development. Lectures demonstrate practical examples of the use of color and design in works of art from the beginning of art history to contemporary trends. Computers will be used to demonstrate the uses of various elements of design and color. (CSU, UC, AVC)
