Dive right in. As you acquire and perfect your skills as artists and designers in courses like 2-D and 3-D design, color theory, and other foundations studios, a large part of your learning process will revolve around the classroom critique—the crit. It is a vehicle for putting your work out there—to your peers and your artist-instructor—to gauge whether you have been successful in communicating your intent through the concept and materials and processes you have chosen. It is also an opportunity to develop your own critical eye and your own critical voice. This book features a project in each chapter that you can work on and upload to our own version of a classroom crit. By posting your work to our online Art Studio and critiquing projects submitted by other students, you will begin to perfect your ways of looking and learn to articulate in words what it is that you and others are doing visually. Start here. The first page of your book arrays Chung Chak’s designs for the cover of the new Enhanced Media Edition of Foundations of Art and Design—including the “out-takes” and some of his notes on each version. Consider our options. What are the strengths of each? The potential problems with each? Which do you like, and why? Did we make the right choice? How might you work with the image and text to design a cover? Let us see your version.
