This beginning course focuses on using the elements of design (line, color, shape, texture, volume, and space) to communicate both artistically and emotionally.  The class intends to build fundamental visual perception through direct creative practice.  It challenges the student-artist to work outside of the academic parameters of art instruction and to “play” with materials in order to achieve a richer product and more fulfilling and educational experience.
