Unleash Your Creativity with Design Studies! Our Design Studies program empowers students to bring their ideas to life through hands-on exploration of sketching, modeling, and computer-aided design (CAD). From foundational skills in drawing and 3D design to advanced techniques in architecture, industrial, and fashion design, students will build a strong portfolio while learning industry standards and innovative tools. With opportunities to tackle real-world challenges and refine their talents in advanced courses, this program inspires creativity and prepares students for exciting futures in design-related fields. Turn your imagination into reality with Design Studies!
DESIGN STUDIES 1A Students will use drawings, models, projects, and journals to learn about CAD applications, the design process and development of portfolios. Modules include the following:
DS 1010: Sketch, Draw and Model DS 1020: The Design Process DS 1040: 3-D Design 1
DESIGN STUDIES 2A
This is an intermediate level design course for students having completed at least 2 modules from Design 1A. Students will explore architecture and industrial or fashion design. Students will learn about industry standards as they work with Mini CAD, scanners, modeling tools and other technologies on creative projects. Modules students may choose from include: Unfinished Design 1 A modules DES 1050: CAD 1 DES 1060 Technical Design and Drafting I DES 2045: 3D Design 2
DESIGN STUDIES 3A
Students are to show a high degree of self-organization and planning at the advanced level of Design Studies, refining skills with advanced techniques that are orientated towards target audiences or customer requests. Students can explore 2 or 3 dimensional ideas focused toward architectural, environmental, or interior design at the intermediate or advanced modules based on personal interest and completed prerequisites. Advanced modules include: Incomplete Design 1A / 2A modules DES 3065: Technical Design 3 DES 3095: Architectural Design DES 3145: Modeling-Real
