Introduction
Art - Design
The Design Option offers students the study of graphic design, web design and motion graphics, plus development of fundamental design knowledge, skills, and creativity. All design courses are offered as hybrid courses, meeting once a week face-to face classroom, and with an online component, preparing students with fundamental understanding of the design processes in print media, web design and motion graphics. In addition, they are introduced to professional practices in graphic design.
Our goals are:
- To provide students with an understanding of the visual elements of art and principles of design.
- To provide students with technical and expressive fluency in industry-standard software application.
- To give students a critical awareness of own design work fulfilling graphics design communication purposes.
- To help students produce a portfolio of professional materials including a resume.
- To help students present and discuss own artistic works and practices.
