First Year CORE Studio courses emphasize making and the exploration of ideas through drawing, 2D, 3D, and 4D (time-based and interactive) studio work. You’ll learn not only how to make things through the use of new tools and techniques, but how thinking and making work together.  In First Year CORE studio you practice collaboration, research, and discover how constructive critique pushes your work further.  This is your time to both expand into new ways of thinking, while also developing your own authentic way of working within a supportive community. First Year Core courses will help you develop visual literacy, critical analysis, and communication skills alongside a robust work ethic and growing knowledge of craft making capabilities.
