2D Design Students will explore the world of 2D design with a strong emphasis on concept design. This course covers both software and hardware, but ultimately the focus is on idea development. We will be covering elements of the Adobe Creative suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and a number of other applications. Topics include design, illustration, digital painting, imaging, and animation using professional software applications. This class is ideal for artists, designers, photographers, and students pursuing careers in engineering, industrial design, or architecture. LAB FEE: $20 is required for design supplies and materials.

Student Assessment: Students are assessed based on three main areas: foundation skills, developing ideas, and independent project & skills development. This holistic approach is student-centered and promotes a growth mindset. Grading is competency-based, ranging from 6-10, with 12 representing above mastery. This method allows students to practice and master competencies and skills without the penalty of receiving a poor grade, creating opportunities for them to learn from their mistakes and grow.

Developing Ideas (Ideation) Focuses on the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. Students will follow a design process to create, develop, and communicate abstract, concrete, or visual ideas based on their interests related to the course content. Assess the student's ability to generate and develop creative ideas, looking for originality, problem-solving skills, and the ability to iterate and improve concepts.

Foundation Skills: Building foundational skills that are specific to the software and hardware used in each course strand. Students will apply these skills to mini projects, documenting their solutions. These skills can be demonstrated through teacher-guided assignments or independent student projects. Evaluate the student's basic skills and understanding of design principles, looking for accuracy, attention to detail, and application of foundational knowledge

Independent Project & Skill Development: Assesses the student's ability to independently learn new technical skills and manage an independent project. The goal is to foster an environment that promotes intrinsic skill and project exploration, ultimately giving students the opportunity, tools, and environment to explore their passions and/or future careers. Evaluate the student's ability to work independently on projects, demonstrating growth in skills and competencies. Look for self-direction, initiative, and the ability to learn from mistakes.
