艺术与设计夏校课程

course description （morning）

Summer Intensives in Art and Design offers high school creative students the opportunity to develop technical skills and build studio practice.

 

Architecture + Design (On Campus Version Only)

This course introduces students to architectural design through hands-on projects, lectures, and collaborative assignments. Students will learn about practical considerations and broad concepts that shape our built environment by designing a series of structures in response to client and site needs. Students will come away from the course having experienced a collaborative environment, knowledge of the basic principles of design, and creative work suitable for their portfolio.

 

Drawing Fundamentals

Expand your visual vocabulary by learning different tools to develop drawing skills and techniques. This class covers basics of perspective and proportion, as well as a number of less conventional approaches to drawing. In addition to analyzing work by contemporary artists and working independently, students have the opportunity to collaborate through group critiques and discussions.

 

Illustration

This online course includes four focus areas: Narrative, Editorial, Advertising, and Concept Art. For Narrative Illustration, students create a three-panel story arc in the style of a graphic novel or children’s book. For Editorial Illustration, students use conceptual thinking and metaphor in images. For Advertising Illustration, students balance words and images to create an impactful visual message. For Concept Art, students develop characters and imagined landscapes, and learn what makes fantastic images believable.

 

Painting: Color and Form

This course is an introduction to the use of paint as an expressive medium, with a focus on color and form to create imagery on a two-dimensional surface. Students' ideas of observation will be pushed as their role as artists is challenged. In addition to developing painting skills, students will cultivate a personal voice, sense of expression, and visual art vocabulary.

 

Jewelry and Metalsmithing (On Campus Version Only)

This course provides students with an opportunity to learn important skills in jewelry making and metalsmithing. Students consider how to integrate sustainable practices, such as repairing, repurposing and recycling, into the process of creating  jewelry and metal objects. Contemporary and historic artists will be a source for inspiration to encourage students to combine jewelry and metalsmithing methods with personal voice through 3-D problem solving assignments.

Animation Toolkit (Virtual Version Only)

Students explore the fundamental principles of animated movement through the use of digital software. This course will introduce students to the essentials of leading digital animation programs, with which we will experiment and explore the possibilities of this diverse and contemporary medium.Students will gain a solid foundation in animation, resulting in unique and outstanding pieces for a college portfolio.

This class covers basics of perspective and proportion, as well as a number of less conventional approaches to drawing. In addition to analyzing work by contemporary artists and working independently, students have the opportunity to collaborate through group critiques and discussions.

 

Designing Character: Might, Myth & Magic

This course looks at character archetypes that are at the center of some of our favorite and well-known stories, and allows the artist to re-engage with them and the fantastic worlds they live in. Students create projects from concept to model to portfolio, through supportive critique. This class explores re-imagined popular heroes and villains, making it an ideal experience for anyone creating children’s books, comics or graphic novels, animated cartoons or video games.

 

Painting from Observation

Observational painting is the conversation that happens between the artist and the observed. Whether the observed is an object, a place, a person, or even an idea, it becomes the response in visual and personal representation. Working from still life, objects, the self, and the home environment, students explore foundational concepts such as color, texture, form, space, shape, and line.

 

Graphic Design

Designers are creative problem solvers. Students of Graphic Design develop an understanding of the principles of visual vocabulary and learn to be comfortable expressing their ideas visually. This course introduces basic skills and concepts fundamental to graphic designers. Students explore the design process, imagery for the commercial space, lettering design, and techniques for combining these disparate elements.
