In this course, students explore the intersection,of design, craft, and science through engaging in,a series of material experiments to examine,properties, technique, mechanics, potential, and,failure to develop innovations in color,,materials, and finish design. The course supports,the student in developing and innovating ideas,using both proven and non-traditional techniques.,Students work in the wood, metal, glass, and,ceramic studios to create a series of surfaces and,artifacts – with the fundamental understanding of,the chemistry behind each process – to support,their concepts within their CMD studio courses.,Working in shop and studio environments, the,projects immerse students in both 2D and 3D,surface and form to present forward-thinking,concepts. The course offers both structured group,projects and self-directed learning.
