    Description
    Introduction to the two-dimensional arts. Students explore and learn the language of design principles and color theory through visual problem solving. They create design projects using critical analysis of art elements to visually communicate ideas. They also research, analyze, and evaluate elements of design and color in a range of art disciplines, while focusing on those of historical, theoretical and cultural relevance. Students are required to visit exhibitions, in person or online, at museums and/or the MiraCosta College gallery. C-ID ARTS-100, ARTS-270.
