Welcome!

FNAR 264-405  is an introduction to the fundamental perception, representation, aesthetics and design that shape contemporary visual culture. It addresses the ways in which artists and designers create images; design with analog + digital tools; communicate / exchange / express meaning over a broad range of media; and develop their individual voices. Emphasis is placed on building an extended form of visual literacy by studying and making images using a variety of representation techniques; learning to organize and structure two-dimensional & three-dimensional space and designing with time-based and procedural media. Students will learn to develop individual methods of idea-generation, experimentation, iteration and critique as part of their creative and critical responses to visual culture.
