A study of the principles and elements of design will be intergraded into each assignment. Aspects of art history, criticism and contextual analysis will be related to each unit of study. As well as building a portfolio of work the students will be required to maintain a sketchbook in which image ideas, observations, directions, critical/historical/evaluative records are maintained.
