    Description
    An introductory studio design course based on communicating visually through practical applications of design and composition including line, shape, form, texture, value, color, and spatial illusion in two dimensions. Traditional mediums and digital imaging using industry standard Adobe Creative Cloud software will be emphasized. Graphic design, commercial art, and fine art principles will be explored from historical, aesthetic and cultural points of view. This course is designed to assist older adults in identifying and examining personal interests and aptitudes in two-dimensional design and to enhance mental acuity, fine motor skills, and creativity as well as the appreciation of the visual arts. To cover the costs of printing each project assignment, a $10.00 material fee will be charged at the time of registration. Students must provide additional materials and supplies at an estimated cost of $25.
