Three-Dimensional Design

This foundation course provides an introduction to the concepts, applications, and historical references related to three-dimensional design and spatial composition, including the study of elements and organizing principles of design as they apply to three-dimensional space and form. Emphasis will be placed on the use of the elements of line, plane, mass, and volume, the exploration of materials, and the use of tools. As an aide to creative expression, visual vocabulary will also be developed through lecture presentations and the use of appropriate materials for non-representational, three-dimensional studio projects. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: ART 19.
