COMPOSITION AND ORNAMENTAL DESIGN
Objective: to develop awareness of the important organizing principles behind image making
This course will introduce the fundamental impulse behind all of the arts - "to divide space and ornament" -
with emphasis on traditional elements of ornamentation organized into time periods, and culture of origin.
Considerations such as open and closed space will be compared between figurative and ornamental patterns.
