Course Description

Design 11 (DES 11) Academic, 1 credit

Design 11 is accepted as a Fine Arts Credit or as a Technology credit.

Design is (or should be) a consideration in everything that is produced today. Students will be exposed to the fundamentals of design, which will involve both the principles of good design, as well as learning how to apply a successful design process of creative inquiry. Students will then have opportunities to apply a design process through the use of state of the art design tools relevent to Communication Design and in the design of Built Environments. Design 11 offers students a new appreciation for what they see, experience, and engage around them. This is a fun and rewarding, though demanding course. To succeed in Design 11, applicants are recommended to have a credit in Art 10 or approval by the instructor.
