Introduction to Two-Dimensional Art is an introduction to art through a working understanding of the Elements and Principles of Design and provides students with the fundamentals of art appreciation, art evaluation, and art production skills. Studio work includes drawing, painting, perspective, pencil rendering, color and design principles. Although no previous art instruction is necessary, students must be highly motivated. Students are graded primarily on the quality of work they hand in as well as personal improvement. This class is one of the introductory courses required before selecting advanced art classes.
