Introduction to Interior Design
Cost: $500
July 26 - 30
This class is an introduction to interior design with an emphasis on residential. Students will learn essential design skills including the principles and elements of design, the use and application of color and space planning standards, including an understanding of public and private space. In a residential project, students will assemble furniture, materials, textures and color schemes into a coherent design. Basic drafting skills are taught and students will create a rendered floor plan, elevation and in addition, a design concept board to express their design intent.

Drawing 1

August 2 - 6
This is an introductory course stressing basic drawing skills. We will begin with line and line variation and move through understanding relative scale and spatial relationships on a 2-D surface. The student will be introduced to various techniques of creating lights and darks to create the illusion of three dimensional forms in space and dynamic drawings. Basic principles of design elements of perspective and negative space will be included as drawing aides that will lead the student to create well composed drawings.
