Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the elements and principles of design as applied to the construction of three-dimensional form. Students are assigned projects using a variety of materials including, but not limited to wood, clay and found objects. These projects are intended to stimulate and inspire effective application of the design principles to three-dimensional art works.
Prerequisites
