Understand the elements of form and principles of composition to facilitate creation of projects that attract the eye. Participate in a series of exercises and critiques, to deepen your perceptions of the 2D picture plane and to hone your awareness of aesthetic options. Learn how to effectively use the elements of form, such as dot, line, shape, value, and texture. Study the impact of compositional approaches, such as dominance, hierarchy, emphasis, balance, contrast, tension, and rhythm. Appreciating visual grammar is the first step towards creating work that resonates.
