This course aims to introduce students to basic design processes. Students will develop knowledge gained in previous courses, particularly using digital drawing skills with a heightened understanding of design's elements and principles. Students will be guided through a range of practical tasks associated with graphic design, and colour theory. This course will explain the concept of design with the distinction between the terms of design and composition by emphasizing the intellectual value of design work. The course is starting from the first stage of preparing the design process to visualise elements from the future and apply them in two- dimensional designs, to learn how colours interact and how visual composition works forming poster composition with selective colour schemes. This course is a visual study of fundamental elements that creates our design basics by recognising the characteristics of each element and principles of design. Emphasis is placed on basic design principles, the relationships between design, functional, structural, and aesthetic quality of spaces.
By the end of the course, students will have developed practical and theoretical understanding of the functionality, sustainability, nature of the design process, and will demonstrate this understanding through work created for assessment.

This practice-based course develops students understanding of basic human anatomy, particularly the skeleton and muscular structure for artists. Students will learn about different cultural approaches to depicting the human form through history as well as how these images are applied to fields of knowledge outside those of art and design. Students will be led through a series of classes and workshops to draw and paint from a range of resources including skulls, skeletons, and écorché models, besides the human anatomy features that differentiate between genders, ages, identities and nationalities.
Students learn the foundations of figure drawing: techniques for drawing the human body and apply the rules of anatomy in a realistic style. The classical approach to figure drawing is divided into simple steps: capturing gesture and motion, mapping out structure and form, understanding the common "landmarks" of the body, drawing proportionally, and adding volume with shapes and shadows. By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of proportions on the human skull, skeleton and muscular structure, as well as improved skills using a range of painting and drawing mediums.

The course starts with a look at the different types of cameras on the market and guidelines for setting your camera up for success. It also introduces the theory behind exposure: controlling the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor. Students will develop an understanding of how to use certain kinds of digital cameras, lenses, how to set up a shoot, to take to the field and examine the rest of the factors that influence the quality of photographs, including light metering, focus, composition, and flash.
In this course, students will learn how to apply the roles of composition for capturing the good shot, will be introduced to techniques for shooting portraits and how to use post-production software.

This course is an introduction to the basic techniques and materials used to make representational drawings. Through various practical exercises that include setting up and drawing a still life, drawing from plaster casts, and sculpting human forms, students will be introduced to some of the basic skills needed for creating artworks associated with art and design. Students will begin to develop knowledge and understanding of composition, the use of light and dark gradient values, the use of different grade pencils to create different kinds of line, and how to build and shape three-dimensional forms. Students will begin to develop an understanding of historical and contemporary art and design context. By the end of the course, the student will learn gradually how to simplify statues into basic geometric forms, which is an initial step towards an advanced level of analytical studies for the human Portrait and body.
