• GRAPHIC DESIGN

Participants will be introduced to the design process through hands-on activities.

Participants will have an opportunity to bring their ideas to life using our industry-standard software and hardware while exploring the principles of design, space, form, and color.

• INTERIOR DESIGN

As members of an interior design team, participants will have an opportunity to design and build a creative space. Interior design is about creating an environment where form and function merge.

• SET & EXHIBIT DESIGN

Engage in a design process based on observation, analysis of products, the study of ergonomic principles, and the creation of visual studies. In this course, you will develop as a designer while learning to express a personal vision. You will be guided from the final stages of the design concept within the exhibit space, through the design process, and onto the completion of the final project model.

• DIGITAL FILMMAKING & VIDEO PRODUCTION

In this intensive Summer Studio workshop, students will learn to shoot, edit, and post a video to a website of their choice. Students will have an opportunity to cover basic video production skills, conceptual storytelling skills, Final Cut Pro editing skills, and web video streaming skills. Each student should come prepared to create a personal bio piece about him/herself or someone of interest who will consent to participating in the project.

• DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Learn to show the world what you see through your lens, and gain an understanding of photography’s impact on the world as a whole. First, you’ll have an opportunity to learn basic techniques from studying the great photographers and discovering how they achieved the results they did. Then, you’ll head out to get those great shots on your own. This workshop will leave you with a sampling of skills to better capture the world around you.

• GAME ART & DESIGN/MEDIA ARTS & ANIMATION

Participants will be introduced to the game, animation, and media arts industries.

Get the opportunity to gain an understanding of communicating brand identity through advertising, attracting attention through the use of graphics, and working together as a team in a creative environment to complete a final project.

• VISUAL & GAME PROGRAMMING

To develop and design an animated 3-D game takes the work of both an artist and a technical programmer. The artist creates backgrounds, characters, and other graphics to make the game visually appealing and exciting while the technical programmer creates programs/scripts to enable the various movements and interactions of characters and objects. In this workshop, you will be introduced to the exciting world of game programming!

• WEB DESIGN & INTERACTIVE MEDIA

Learn more about exciting career opportunities in fashion! Explore fashion illustration, fashion photography, visual merchandising, textile art, and retailing in small boutiques as well as high-end fashion stores.
