The goal of The Studio Class is to introduce incoming students to the fundamental concepts of 3-D design. Experimentation and discovery are at the heart of this course, with exercises that stress the creative processes needed for the production of prototypes. The product development process, beginning with brainstorming and sketching, followed by sketch modeling, aesthetic evaluation, final maquettes, and ending with written, visual, and oral communication is used for each assignment. The students will acquire a multitude of design skills by building a variety of models from various materials. The last few projects will be “brought to life” by incorporating the technologies learned in the other half of this FirstBridge. The critical skills needed to assess objects designed by others and an appreciation of the intersection of art and science are further learning outcomes of The Studio Course.
