IND-690 Industrial Design Workshop

3 Credits

Workshops are offered in two distinct areas: process and concept. Both strive to develop one's individual vision as a designer and enhance problem-solving abilities. Process workshops focus on research, priorities, and understanding context and dialogue as a part of the design process. Students step through project development, including sketching, model making, fabrication, and formal presentations. Concept workshops follow an abstract and often lateral creative process designed to expand the students' visual, aesthetic, and conceptual framework. Resulting projects are typically sculptural in nature and become expressions of the relationship between the individual, the artist, and the designer.
