  • ART 2203: Evidence

    2.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the basic Principles and Elements of Design and Composition using a variety of Printmaking techniques. The term Evidence is reflective of the use of different matrices to create an original range of marks that are then inked and printed onto a substrate, such as paper. Topics such as unity and variety, balance, scale, proportion, and emphasis, as well as line, shape, value, and texture are addressed through thematic assignments using monoprints, collagraphs, and relief prints.

  • ART 2204: Illusion

    2.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of Illusion through principles and elements of design and composition using a variety of basic Painting techniques. Illusions of space and form are created by the skilled application of these principles and techniques. The course focuses on color theory, the application of color, and use of materials. Projects exploring color, space, balance, emphasis, rhythm, and value will lead students though a series of 2D projects that encourage independent decision-making, analysis, and effective use of terminology.

    University of Utah

    This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of illusion through principles and elements of design using the technique of Drawing. Mapping is a process of abstraction and translation of the physical world into two dimensions. Principles including scale, balance, emphasis, unity and variety, value, line, shape, and texture will be explored through a range of monochromatic drawing media, including graphite pencil, charcoal, and ink. Students will learn and use beginning drawing skills in a series of projects that focus on independent decision-making, analysis, and the effective use of terminology.
