FN 101 - Color + Composition

3 credit hours
In this course, students will learn, through lecture and hands-on projects, to examine, study and use the element of color. Color is the name we give to the slice of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can pick out of the ocean of waves in which we bathe every day. It has a long and storied history for artists and designers, for scientists and philosophers. This course lays the groundwork for lifelong engagement with the possibilities and complexities of color, while also establishing fluency in compositional strategies and vocabulary.
