Design and Graphics I provides learning experiences common to all graphic communications occupations. Instruction will include use of color, balance and proportion in design; three dimensional visualization; sketching; design procedures; layout; selection of type styles; selection of appropriate drawing tools and media; and the use of the computer as a communication tool.   Planned activities will allow students to become knowledgeable of fundamental principles and methods and to develop technical skills related to graphic arts.  In addition to technical skills, course content will reflect the integration of academic and workplace skills.   

Students will work on a variety of three-dimensional projects.  The students’ first several sculptures will be created with clay.  The subsequent sculptures the students make will be from different processes available to the sculptor.  All finished work belongs to the student.
