New Section of Elements of Design Fall 2026!

[Gillespie, Sean]

Hello all!

The Elements of Design class filled up quickly for fall, so we just added another section that starts earlier in the semester. It begins in 2 weeks, and ends in October, well before the end of semester crunch time. No previous experience is required.

If you are not familiar with the Elements of Design class, we take on good design as an inquiry rather than a set definition or place to arrive at. Through class exercises and practices, you will define your aesthetic and create a design that is uniquely your own. The final project is a scale model (examples above) of that design to show to clients, add to your portfolio or use to construct a full-scale version in a later class.

If you are interested, here are the details:

• Elements of Design
• 2 credits
• 24484 FIW 1004 002
• Tuesdays 12-4p
• August 18th to October 6th (8 weeks)

Best,

Sean
