Any and all art, design, aesthetic work and theory is both reference and source. Projects are the means to refine individual expression and to practice conceptual and critical thought.Section Details:Artists have been producing designs, patterns, and many forms of decoration for millennia. This class focuses on image-making that is oriented primarily to the areas of the decorative arts, i.e. product design, packaging design, apparel, the home decor industry, and other decorative and design-driven uses.Class projects will be structured around the types of assignments you might be tasked with in your future career. With this in mind, I am delighted to see students who push the boundaries in terms of concept and execution and produce work that is far outside the commercial norm. I relish your ingenuity and ability to surprise me. So please explore and have fun. I encourage you to take risks and learn from the happy accidents!
