Students who are interested in community arts/design, there will be an information meeting for the Fall 2011 Community Arts Design Studio - Thursday, September 1st - 12:30pm - FA123
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Community Arts Design Studio is offered through the Design an Industry Department. The course is community-arts oriented and will cover the fundamental principles and techniques of graphic design, typography, layout and production for application to community art and education contexts. Students will learn to flexibly employ standard design and production tools and techniques, i.e., Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. You will mentor and lead students from underserved communities in graphic design and client projects. The course will be a collaboration with community partners. Class meets every Friday.
The course will emphasize media literacy and analysis skills, emphasizing nuanced, non-stereotypical, representation of cultural vernaculars. Students in the program will have an understanding of how historical, social, economic, and political factors of communities relate to community art. They will also acquire the necessary skills, conceptual thinking, and professional practice to enable them to fulfill their creative potential and make art for, in, and with the community.
PRE-REQUISITES: DAI 325 (or higher) or an intermediate knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
