Curriculum Summary
Through the exploration of conceptual writing in tangent with technical drawing, this course explores the multidimensional creative process and interpersonal communication of new ideas or complex concepts.
Dimensional Thinking: Poetry/Perspectives fosters the pupils’ abilities to create with intended outcomes in mind and challenges students to utilize themes or concepts across mediums for this purpose. These goals allow for a deeper understanding of the intersectional spaces found between the arts, design, and communications.
We will look at continuity of concept from start to finish, clarity in communicating between mediums, and the ability to recognize/communicate potential improvements or variations through interpersonal critiques as our measure of proficiency.
