ARTM1010 - Foundation Studio I
Summer 2013

Foundation Studio I is an introduction to fundamental studio media, skills and techniques. Mixed-media and drawing are utilized to learn how to judge proportion, create volume and depict the illusion of space. These important core skills are addressed through exercises exploring areas such as perspective, proportion, texture, value, form, line and composition. In exploring these areas, individually and in team projects, students expand their visual vocabulary and learn to develop and refine perceptual, conceptual and practical skills that can be applied to the areas of art, design and TV/video production.

ARTM4090 - Portfolio
Summer 2013

Students concentrate on the refinement of the job-seeking portfolio by rethinking or re-doing work from previous classes. A mock portfolio miniature is produced which leads to the final presentation piece which is then presented at the end of the course. Examples of other designer's presentations will be discussed and critiqued and members of the design profession will share expertise and views on the subject. Development of resumes, cover letters, and self-presentation will also be topics covered on this important final stage of the visual communications track. This work produced adds significantly towards providing the essential credentials required to obtaining employment in the field or continuing further study at the Masters level. Each student will exhibit an end of course show, which will be held in the gallery. It will be open to the public and form part of continuous feedback to high schools and employers. The organization and presentation within the area or space provided will be the prime responsibility of the student, with advice and guidance from the faculty. 3 credits
