Design

Courses

Design courses introduce students to the principles and elements of art and design to create dynamic and effective visual work. Students use digital design tools (Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop) in conjunction with analog methods for generating ideas, artworks, and projects. Students explore how basic visual elements (line, shape, form, texture space, value, and color) can be combined with principles of composition (balance, unity, rhythm, etc.).

Facilities

Available to students enrolled in Art and Art History courses, the design studio contains a 10-station computer lab. Every station is equipped with Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom digital drawing tablet. The lab also accommodates class-related projects that rely on virtual reality technologies, ceiling mounted cameras, and sound and video editing.
