INTRODUCTION TO PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

How does design work? What are the components or ideas necessary for understanding design?

This semester we will be making a design book using Wikispaces.com, a writable site that allows users to write, modify, and save postings. We will begin with the principles of design listed below. You will familiarize yourself with the principles of design (art) by looking up definitions for each principle of design listed below. Find definitions for each principle and locate an example of an artwork that illustrates the principle.

This project will be ongoing throughout the semester. Since this is a class project that depends on your input, participation will be monitored.
