Master’s A Studio assist the student in developing an understanding of abstraction and conceptualization through the use of two and three-dimensional exercises. Basic concepts are introduced including ordering principles, color theory, proportion, human scale and the basic elements of architecture and interior design. Freehand drawings, study models and collages are emphasized as the media for design investigation. Students develop their own powers of observation throughout these exercises as they gain new levels of awareness, understanding, and ability related to design.
