Design is more than just art. It takes the building blocks of art and, combined with creativity and innovation, uses those elements to create ideas and objects used in society. Also called “commercial art,” design is communicative and applicable to many highly marketable careers. Designers imagine and make, research and think! This course is an exploration in the field of design, introducing students to the areas of Graphic Design, Illustration, Product Design, Architecture, Industrial Design, Textile (wearable) Design, and creating design artworks by hand, with an exposure to technological application. Students will learn the elements and principles of art, design, and typography as well as the skills of creativity and problem-solving to produce a wide variety of projects in various art media.
