FOUNDATION COURSES

Drawing Foundations
The ability to observe and the skill of translating these observations into visual expression are fundamental to an artist’s education. Students in this course first develop their power of observation and strengthen their ability to think and express themselves visually on paper. They learn techniques for working from the human figure, forms in nature, landscapes, interior spaces and still-life setups. Traditional and nontraditional materials are used throughout to investigate line, value, form and composition. Portrayal of drawing skills is often an essential requirement for college admissions portfolios. Therefore, RISD Pre-College emphasizes that Drawing Foundations studies are as important as major work.

Design Foundations
Design is critical to all visual expression. This course introduces students to the formal elements of design – line, shape, color, texture and space. Through challenging exercises, students are encouraged to explore traditional methods of visual organization and to discover new solutions on their own. Projects may include both two- and three-dimensional design concepts. Development and representation of thoughtful design choices in all artwork is often an essential component for consideration in college admissions portfolios. Therefore, RISD Pre-College emphasizes that Design Foundations studies are as important as major work.

Critical Studies in Art
Critical analysis – the ability to thoroughly examine, analyze and respond to creative concepts and ideas, both verbally and in writing – is an essential tool in an art and design education. In this foundation course, historical and contemporary art (both two- and three-dimensional) is presented in relationship to a specific theme. Students develop an approach to critical analysis by delving into the historical context of the artwork. Coursework is enhanced by visits to the RISD Museum of Art, where students explore the collections and examine original artwork in an intimate setting.

Fashion Design
Students in this major examine the fashion design process from sketchbook to consumer. Initial exercises focus on developing the visual communication skills necessary to illustrate a fashion concept.Merchandising and construction methods come to the forefront as students gain an understanding of color interaction, form and proportion. In the process, students begin to appreciate how fashion tastes and styles both reflect and contribute to contemporary culture. Ultimately, students design and construct fashion pieces out of alternative materials to be shown as part of the Pre-College Exhibitions at the end of the program. NOTE: Prior sewing skills are not required.
