2D Design Portfolio
This course is a fundamental introduction to the elements, principles, tools and techniques of design as they apply to two-dimensional art forms. Traditional and contemporary approaches will be explored through a variety of media, processes and applications to facilitate students’ understanding of visual organization as well as provide a solid foundation for subsequent art courses
The objective of this project is to use the principle of design, Balance, and to help achieve the desired content. Students developed the project based on the Japanese design concept called Nōtan (濃淡), which observes the relationship and placement of light and dark shapes in the composition translating shape & space into flat shapes on a two-dimensional surface. Nōtan is traditionally presented in paint, ink, or cut paper, but it is relevant to a host of modern-day image-making techniques, such as lithography in printmaking, and rotoscoping in animation.
The objective to this project is to understand the positive and negative space relationships and how to manipulate space in a two-dimensional picture plane. Students studied perspective and pattern.
Use of value is also great to give mood to an image. Students explore through value schemes, value contrast, and shape composition the effectiveness of lights and darks in the work.
The objective to this project is to understand the color wheel relationship as well as tints, tones, and shades. Goals: Create visually interesting color relationships. Utilize deliberate compositional balance and movement through color.
In this project, students develop a visual understanding of the differences between subject matter and form. Students intentionally translate value into color and develop visual understanding of Color Schemes/Harmonies. Students develop practical understanding of how to create Monochromatic, Analogous and Complementary Color Harmonies.
In this project students explored the use of a split complementary color scheme while making 3D forms and space in a 2D picture plane. This design will use color at various saturation levels and values.
In this project, students develop a visual understanding of the differences between subject matter and form. Students intentionally translate value into color and develop visual understanding of Color Schemes/Harmonies. Students develop practical understanding of how to create either Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary or Split-Complementary Color Harmonies. Inspired by artist, Shepard Fairey, students will design as poster using both representational and nonrepresentational imagery in combination with Adobe Suite for technology aid.
