Design

Design courses introduce students to the basic building blocks to effectively design, compose, and express visual ideas articulately. Two dimensional, color and 3-D areas of focus are included in the design sequence. The class can be taken singly or in any order.

The design studio provides students with a classroom that allows them to experiment and explore a variety of materials and medias, as they learn the "language of the visual arts." The 2-d design studio is located in Building 3, Room 105. The 3-d design studio is located in Building 5, Room 100.
