Course Details

Foundations in Art Design incorporates 21st century skills (including teamwork, critical thinking, and communication) that students need to thrive in post-secondary learning, citizenship, and careers in any industry. In this course, students explore a range of arts and media careers, and they assume the roles of creative professionals by employing diverse approaches to visual problem solving in their course assignments. Through assignments, portfolio development, and journal reflections, students continually return to their own vision, deepening and expanding their capacity to “see” both as creators and as critical consumers of art and media. In these ways, students come to understand how their individual creative vision is influenced by the culture and the contexts in which they live.
