Art 2D

2D is short for the word two dimensional. Two-dimensional art consists of paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs. There are many elements that go into making these types of art including line, shape/form, value, texture, and others. In this course students will be learning and using each element individually. Students can visit an art museum to see examples of famous 2D art work, or look around their house. Students might find 2D art, such as a poster, on your own bedroom wall. In this course students will be thinking like a comic book artist. Activities in each lesson will help you develop ideas much like a comic book artist would use. Artwork is submitted electronically so access to a color scanner or digital camera is essential.  (0.5 credit)
