Graphic Art and Design
Course Outline
This is an Art class.
- You will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in several art principles and build on design theory to create effective Art projects.
- There will be opportunities to build these skills using both computers and traditional art supplies.
- I try to create a balance between these two mediums and often give the option that projects be created depending on your personal preference. However, do not assume that you can do well with a focus in just one area.
