RISD Advanced Program for High School Students: Exploration in Design

Artwork by Tina J.

Design is a planning process and a way to create impact and expand ideas. In this class students investigate line, shape, color, value, pattern, texture, space and form. Experimentation with scale, transparency, transition and a variety of approaches allows students to create a personalized collection of studies and completed works. Students explore painting methods and materials such as gouache, acrylic and ink. From initial sketches to final projects, students develop a core practice to help in the success of current and future work.

Notes

  • In this intensive course, students should expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours per week engaging in coursework. Students should plan their schedule accordingly to keep up with class.
