Description:
Advanced Design Studios support the complex and expanding role of today's graphic designer. These studios provide deep exploration within a specific arena to help students further define their own methodologies. Courses are proposed by faculty and cover 2D, 3D, and 4D categories. Studio options vary from semester to semester.
Students spend 13 days in Tokyo with a 5 day excursion to Kyoto. While the focus of the visit is an investigation of Japanese aesthetic values, students also explore the compelling surface of Tokyo and Kyoto. For the duration of their stay, the class lives in the question of what ties the old to the new.The outcome of the course integrates narrative with visual images and may take any form including 2D, 3D, time-based media, or performance art. Final projects are evaluated on the quality of research, analysis, creative thinking, form giving, and craft. Collaboration is always an option.May 13: Zoom program meetingIn Japan May 22-June 10
