Description
|
| First
PDS (Painting, Drawing, Sculpture) |
Envisioned
to accommodate all three fields of interest – painting, drawing
and sculpture. The course will be fragmented into two distinct
sections. Each section will consist of two weeks of studio
study and production. Each part of the class will begin with
research into the manner these practices are defined in 2003
along with the range of materials the students may choose
to use in their work. |

| Design |
Will
also be fragmented into two portions. Design is the creation
of objects whether they be objects we manipulate, things or
objects that manipulate us, or spaces. Design is most concerned
with the creation of objects that are beneficial to their
users. These tend to fall into two categories, two-dimensional
and three-dimensional design. |
