DMA-349 ANIMATION PROJECTS II

This course follows Animation Projects I and,allows students to continue to explore and,experiment with traditional and non-traditional,materials and animation processes (paint, clay,,sand, cut-out, pixelation, computer graphics,,etc.,) to create finished animated films. These,self-directed collaborative projects are designed,to allow the student the opportunity to fully,experiment with the creative medium. Story,,technique and originality are emphasized. This,class mirrors traditional and nontraditional,perspectives of society. Note: Some students,(transfers) may take this course before Animation,Projects I if their schedule requires.

DME-176 BLK PATTERN DEVELOPMENT

This beginning course is a semester long intensive,study into the development of pattern in both,ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Using forge,welding and diffusion, this course covers simple,layering processes to composites and mosaic,patterning methods. Throughout the semester each,student assembles a journal comprised of weekly,clay pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

DME-376 BLK ADVANCED PATTERN DEVELOPMENT

This course is a semester long intensive study of,the development of pattern on both ferrous and,non-ferrous metals. Using forge welding and,diffusion, participants explore layering processes,of developing composites and mosaic patterns in,steel using power hammer methods. Twisting, stock,reduction, and book match patterning techniques,are presented. Advanced students research,patterned steel of an historic precedent and,develop pattern samples that reflect a technical,lineage. Throughout the semester each student,assembles a journal comprised of weekly clay,pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

DPH-353 ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHIC FINE ART FORMS

This course continues the student’s development,in personal fine art photography through,lectures, field trips and critiques. An emphasis,is placed on the development of a personal,artistic language through the introduction to,photo sculpture, performance, installation, etc.,Students are encouraged to explore nontraditional,approaches to photography outside the two,dimensional format.

Prerequisites: DPH 210, DPH 251

DPR-326 ADVANCED PRODUCT DESIGN II

This course reinforces earlier teachings on the,product development process and applies the,methodology to projects that emphasize the,investigation of ergonomics and manufacturing,methods. Students use the skills learned in,supporting classes to convey design solutions in,2D sketches, 3D study models, digital models,and renderings.

Prerequisites: DPR 214, DPR 225, DPR 226

DTR-126 FRESHMAN TRANS DESIGN STUDIO II

Building on the 2-D drawing and 3-D translation,methods learned in DTR 125 this course introduces,students to the fundamental design process used by,transportation designers. Through this,introduction, students will develop a basic,understanding of each phase in the process:,problem identification, concept development and,model building. Research with an eye toward,inclusive design opportunities, as well as,packaging for a variety of end users with diverse,needs will be explored. Course content may be,reinforced through field trips to local design,studios and factories.
