GD 101: Creative Studio Methods

Creative Studio Methods is a required interdisciplinary foundation design course. It immerses new design students in a range of studio experiences as a means to introduce methods for approaching creative work. Short lectures or screenings present models, contexts, and inspiration for creative and critical design practices and provide students with, "courage by example." In-class exercises emphasize inquiry, experimentation, unknowns, playful risk, invention, flexibility, and agility. Visual and conceptual artifacts and outcomes are generated through process and analyzed/considered through group discussion. PREREQUISITE(S): None
