This class taught me the fundamentals when it comes to visual design. This isn't a bad thing its what I needed seeing as how I was mostly self taught up until now. It helped me understand things I only superficially understood.
In this class I've learned about:
-The Rule of Thirds vs. Center placement
-Focal Points, Tangents, Hot Corners, and Cropping
-Line
-Unity
-Value in relation to color
-Color Theory, and Finding Color Schemes
-Saturation
-Contrast
-The Bezold Effect
-Warm Lights Cool Shadows, Cool Lights Warm Shadows
-Value in relation to Texture and Patterns
-Creating the Illusion of Depth
These skills allow me to improve my art and improve the viewers experience when looking at art I've worked on.
