Intro to Visual Communication

Visual Communication focuses on developing an understanding of the reasons and ways in which people have chosen to communicate. Students will investigate a variety of visual communication examples from the historical to the contemporary and use them as a catalyst for their own work. The course will survey work from a variety of different cultures, including Canadian Aboriginal culture. Students will use those
investigations to create their own case studies of techniques both past and present sharing their projects through a variety of presentations.

3D Design & Rapid Prototyping - Building on the student’s abilities in basic visual problem-solving and 2D digital drawing, this course will introduce the skills for visualizing 3D objects and developing them into 3D digital models for rapid prototyping. Artists and designers will work through hands-on class exercises using several 3D modeling software programs as they explore concepts of space, mass, balance, scale as well as form and materials used in 3D printing as a method of rapid prototyping. The 3D visualization techniques covered will have relevance in many creative industries such as graphic design, industrial design, jewelry design, toy design, illustration and fine arts. In-class prototypes will lead students to create optimized 3D digital models ready for printing.
