PART ONE: ART FOUNDATIONS

CART101 Art Foundation I

{Syllabus F16, S15, S13 F12}{Course Link}

This 3-credit course is a component of the first year foundation design sequence, with CART 102 Art Foundation I as the second component. It provides the students with an initial opportunity to make art in a two-dimensional form, by introducing students to basic visual communication elements (line, shape, space, size, texture, color, value) and principles (unity & variety, balance, rhythm, emphasis, economy, proportion), with the focus on developing an understanding of the abstract mechanics of visual and graphic design. These mechanics/principles come across disciplinary boundaries including graphic design, illustration, fashion design, printmaking, photography, etc…

SUPPLIES

Purchase and bring the supplies to class . Most of these supplies will be used more extensively in other classes in the Art major:

Where to buy them? Cheapest- Walmart! or at Michael’s on piedmont by the Lindbergh marta station. Other places are Utrecht art supply store on 7th and Peachtree (near the midtown marta station) and Sam Flax on Northside Drive (near Atlantic Station) also- accessible by a bus from midtown marta station. CAU students will receive a 20% discount at Utrecht.
