ILLUSTRATION 插畫

Illustration is the art of communicating concise ideas with images in every kind of media. Through images, illustration shows us who we are by rendering how we perceive, interact with, and think about the world. It expresses our opinions about public issues in cartoons, solidifies abstract ideas in articles, clarifies data in financial reports, guides our movements in maps and signage, and lets us enter our daydreams in childrens books. Illustrators also create posters, skateboard art, toys, and many of the Web designs and products that infuse daily life. Illustration relies on three crucial skills that are applicable to a wide range of fields: conceptualizing ideas (how do we see the world?); creative problem-solving (how do we convey that vision?); and precise, evocative rendering skills (can we depict it accurately and with personal vision?). In this course, students are introduced to some of the most compelling projects faced by contemporary illustrators, while developing the basic tools for their own careers in illustration.

INTEGRATED DESIGN: LEARNING FROM FIELDWORK 整合設計：現地學習

?Fieldwork? introduces students to basic principles of design and representation through engagement with New York City neighborhoods. The objective of the course is to immerse students in the urban environment, to explore notions of sustainability in an urban context, and to understand design as an agent of change. Through hands-on investigation of a New York neighborhood, students consider the integration and balance of ecology, economy, and community. On-site thematic mapping is used as a process of investigation to record and represent these observations. Working on multiple scales, this research leads students to the identification of a ?problem? or topic of exploration within the neighborhood from the perspective of a designer. Finally, this exploration guides students to design products, systems, or plans for events that also consider strategies of distribution and audience, the use of local materials, and manufacturing.

INTERIOR DESIGN 室內設計

Studio work is supplemented by weekly on-site visits and lectures. Note: This is not an interior decoration course. While decorative components are carefully considered, the primary focus is on the design process and spatial environments.
