Online: Design Projects (Ages 15-18)

You bring your creative interests, Architecture, Interior Architecture, Designed Objects, and Visual Communication Design, and our incredible faculty of artists, designers, and scholars will work one-on-one with you to push your skills to the next level. You will learn about contemporary designers and build design skills from drawing, drafting, researching, and ideation. We will introduce you to both traditional materials as well as software such as Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop). The course will include online demonstrations geared to your passions, visiting artist presentations, online museum resources, as well as time for self-directed work and comprehensive faculty advising. You'll be introduced to both concepts and processes to storyboard and develop narratives. You'll engage in discussions and critiques with a vibrant online community of other students from throughout the country and around the world, create portfolio-quality work, and receive comprehensive guidance on developing competitive applications for college admissions to art and design programs.

"This was my first time doing an online summer program and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I live in London so being able to virtually participate in a course in the US was really great. I thought that the content was interesting and explored very well each day. I am very grateful for this experience as it broadened my knowledge of design and design concepts as a whole. This program on the whole was so interesting and I feel I greatly benefitted!"
