Catalog 2025-2026

ART 320 Graphic Design Portfolio Studio

This course prepares students to complete a complex, self-generated independent body of work that integrates learning from multiple disciplines – the Humanities, Social Sciences, and/or the Natural Sciences – to demonstrate an ability to apply theoretical and practical knowledge to real-world design problems. Applied problems are refined through lectures, demonstrations, pre-reflection assignments, and studio work incorporating cross-disciplinary learning. Project deliverables can be in product, artifact, interface, information design, and human environment forms. Students develop design statements for a mini-series of works for display before preparing their Post-Culminating Experiences Reflection. This course fulfills the requirements for the Spartan Studies Culminating Experience.
