Use the formal elements, principles of design, and principles of gestalt to create well-designed studio projects in achromatic value and color. Use value to describe form and express light logic. Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color to value by mixing, analyzing, and appraising monochromatic tints and shades relative to the achromatic value scale. Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color complements by mixing, analyzing and appraising complementary tones (chromatic grays). Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of hues to the conceptual pigment color wheel by mixing, analyzing, appraising, and identifying color correct swatches for Use historic and current forms of abstraction in the visual arts. Recognize, analyze and interpret the expressive and creative qualities of art media in a work of art as it affects elementary compositional decisions. Make use of critical thinking (reading, writing, listening, speaking, observing and assessing) skills elemental to the problem solving of design and the visual arts. Differentiate preferential, factual, and judicious thinking elemental to solving problems in design and visual arts.
Drawing: Beginning	ARTD 15A	Students completing an assignment in Area C (Arts) courses will be able to analyze modes of artistic expression.
