Students must provide their own supplies. Two class hours, two studio hours. Prerequisite: ART 110 Lecture: 2 hrs. Lab: 2 hrs. Student Performance Outcomes: At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Create two project-based paintings based upon concepts of aesthetics and design. Projects must focus on creating a full value scale in color, and clean, presentable craftsmanship. 2. Create one visual image following a specific principle of design (introduced as a project). 3. Create at least two visual images following the specific steps for conceptual and design development through preliminary sketches with a focus on composition, concept development, and material planning (technique). 4.
