“The design [foundations and graphic design] courses helped prepare me for my current position with University Relations where I do some design work. I understand the terms, programs and how to use them, and how to reach the goals of my assignments.”
– Tony Ureno (Art Major, Junior)
“As an artist I’m constantly learning how to create just by seeing the world around me, but this also must be guided by a firm grasp of basic principles of art and design. The foundations classes I have taken – Drawing Foundations, Design Foundations, and 3D Design Foundations – give me the building blocks on which my imaginative perception of the world can be framed. The skills of working from general to specific and taking breaks from your work are applicable not only in the formal study of fine/studio art but also in the world of graphic design, engineering, marketing, problem solving, and all places where creativity is needed in the real world.”
– Elianna Gaytan (Art Major, Freshman)
“The foundations art courses have been some of the most fun classes that I have taken in college. They have also helped me to hone my skills in drawing and design concepts, which are fundamental skills that I know, will be a valuable whatever path of life I find myself on. Whether I pursue illustration, graphic design, marketing, or any other career, these courses are helping equip me to make a difference and be successful.”
– Rebekah Strickbine (Art Major, Freshman)
“Taking art classes has made my creativity increase and my design ideas more unique. Going through the foundations courses has helped me to better understand the demands asked of me. The classes are fun, great, and a necessary step to achieve a firm grasp of the design process I’ll be using every day. It is exciting to see the progress I have made for my career and in art in general.”
– Cole Whitmore (Art Major, Junior)
