Critical Conversations: bridging pathways forward to greater understanding and creative solutions.

CDGD-402 Graphic Design Intensive 3

3 Credits

This course is an advanced investigation into expanded modes of practice, and explores authorship and the development of a personal approach to a body of work as much as it develops sensitivity to audience and context through illustration. Students are challenged to develop a nuanced understanding of social, cultural, political and environmental implications surrounds image-based creation and to develop a point of view in response. Through in-depth research and the application of advanced experimentation with form, media and technology, students identify an approach to inquiry through illustration that allows them to propose and investigate a set of topics and strategies in preparation for thesis.
