This course offers a practical, experience-based introduction to design thinking tools and techniques. Students explore design for social impact through individual assignments and by working in teams. In this service-learning course, students will participate in a community project or placement guided by an organizational partner that contributes to the public good. By developing projects on and off campus, students will build core skills in creative research, art direction, visual design, prototyping, and the ability to work collaboratively.

Open to Undergraduate ART, BFA-ART, BFA-ART ED, and BFA-DESIGN majors only. ART 274, 275, or 310
