Design Foundations (Crash Course)

Dreaming to be a great designer? This two week course explores the successful two-dimensional art techniques needed for students to communicate effectively in the visual arts. The principals and elements of art explored in this course is a creative journey, developed to include the industry perspective. That way, the student is able to take what they have learned in the class to their related field, art of gaming, graphic design, animation, or illustration. The student will understand the need for quality, craftsmanship, and mastery in the discipline of their art. We hope this course will encourage our students to aspire to high artistic standards that will be applied to all of their creations. The course is a compressed version of the full 8-week course and will encompass a study of the principals of design, the elements of art, and color theory through lectures, daily projects and instructor critiques as they relate to the entertainment industry.
