Design permeates every aspect of our lives, from the objects we use on a daily basis to the signs we look at and even the places we occupy. How can we actively form our environments to better suit us as individuals, as a community, and as part of the global experience? Students will be introduced to a variety of design fields and techniques, providing the tools for critical thinking, developing design empowerment and seeing their environment through a designer's perspective.
Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors. First year (Fr or Soph)
