Foundational Design Studio I

Set the foundation for your architecture studies using concepts and skills in written, spoken, and visual form. You’ll learn the principal concepts of architecture by engaging in an iterative design process where you develop conceptual and spatial ideas through deliberate experimentation.

Type Systems

Building on the skills learned in Type Forms and Type Composition, you will learn to construct larger systems of typography through the development of linear narrative structures, non-linear interactive formats, and coordinated brand expressions. You will develop typographic communications and technical solutions for a wider array of mediums and platforms.

Fundamentals of Lookdev and Lighting

Learn how to render beautiful animations, just like your favorite studios. You’ll learn core principles of looked and lighting, including painting in 3D, how to work with BRDF shaders, linear lighting, animation caches, compositing of render passes, and much more.

Studio 2: Spatial Ordering and Form

Develop your critical design decision-making abilities through experimentation. You will research and analyze a case study project, identify key spatial ideas, and incorporate these ideas through an iterative process of model-making, diagramming, and drawing for small scale projects.

Color Scripting

You’ll use cinematic composition, atmospheric use of color, and color continuity to complete a sixteen-frame color script. (This course is cross-listed with VIS 380 and ANM 880.)

Studio X 3D Animation

In this advanced 3D animation course that recreates the production environment, you will be responsible for generating animation to the specifications of the project’s stakeholder. You will focus on matching action across shot cuts, adapting animation styles to align with project aesthetics, and delivering files in the production pipeline. Portfolio… Read More

Sustainable Design

Learn passive and innovative strategies to minimize a building’s aggressive energy and resource consumption. You’ll examine the benefits of renewable resources and well-building design, focusing on best practices revealed both in vernacular architecture and forward-thinking contemporary design case studies. (This course is cross-listed with ARH 613.)

Your Media Portfolio

Prepare your portfolio for today’s dynamic media industry. Applying your own creative and individual brand, you’ll work to align your media portfolio, your personal web presence, and social network with the professional practices today’s media industry demands.

Color Theory

Get an education in color. You’ll enhance your capacity to make informed color choices in your artwork by studying scientific research (theory) and through a series of hands-on projects (practice) designed to help you personalize color.
