ARTS 102 Three-Dimensional Art and Design

Previously ARTT 102. This course focuses on the elements of art and principles of design as they relate to form and space. Using traditional and non-traditional materials as well as newer technologies, students will explore three-dimensional design as it relates to physical and virtual space. Through problem-solving, idea generation, the exploration of linear and non-linear connections, and the fabrication of unique works of three-dimensional art, students will develop a creative skillset and a vocabulary common to art across medium, culture, and time. While engaged in the art-making process and informed discourse about three-dimensional art, students will broaden and strengthen their own personal creativity while further developing creative and critical thinking.
