2292 - Creating Worlds

Course Description

Setting is crucial to the mood and pulse of any story; this course introduces design and spatial concepts to apply to the environment that surrounds all creatures and characters. Included in this are considerations of figure/ground, value, color and light, pattern and texture, linear perspective, overlap, atmospheric perspective, and scale. Students are encouraged to explore different mediums as a way to create unique environments and moods. Pencil and paper, paint, collage, and three-dimensional approaches (such as shadow boxes and building with papier mache) are examples of mediums that can be utilized to manifest interior spaces, cityscapes and landscapes.
