In my junior year of high school, I took the AP 2-D Art and Design class. It focused on elements and principles including point, line, shape, layers, colors, etc. and on how materials, processes, and ideas can be used to make work in a two-dimensional space. ​I was able to learn a lot from my design class and apply it to media arts. For example, although not two-dimensional, collecting colorful and engaging stock shots started to become easier for me after my artistic studies.
