This fully online course will offer non-major students an introduction to the fundamentals of visual communication. Through presentations, directed readings, discussions, practice-based projects, and critiques, students will engage with topics related to a broad understanding of and appreciation for disciplines that incorporate the making of visual work. Topics include: the principles and elements of art and design, compositional techniques, creative conceptual development, typography as a form of visual expression, the relationship between text and image, the communicative potential of color, and the cultural implications of making visual work. All assignments will be able to be completed by hand. Several assignments will offer the option of using computer-based techniques for students who have previous experience with or the personal motivation to investigate, on their own, such techniques. This is not a course in which students will learn to use software applications, and technical support will not be provided. Students are required to have regular access to: 1. an internet-connected computer (for interacting with the course website several times per week), 2. a flatbed scanner (for scanning and uploading images of completed assignments; these are available for use in various U of I libraries, CITES computer labs, and residence hall computer labs), and 3. a basic still camera (for capturing images to include within assignments; preferably digital, but film is acceptable). It is required that students have basic familiarity with the use of a scanner (scanning and saving images) and a digital camera (capturing images, transferring images to a computer, printing images) before the start of the course.
