The College Studio Summer Program: Logo Design / Monograms

One of our Summer 2012 College Studio classes was based on logo design, graphic design and typography. The value of preliminary sketching was emphasized. The students were directed to work out ideas for designs based on their own name or initials. The goal was to brainstorm and come up with many ideas, not to come to any solid conclusions or finished designs. After a critique of the first round of designs, the student were then directed to work on ideas for designs using other students initials. One surprising outcome was that the students found it easier to come up with ideas for the their peers than for themselves.

The College Studio Summer Program: Interpretation of Music

One of our Summer 2012 College Studio classes was based on using music as an inspiration for drawing. After a discussion about music and the visual arts, the students were directed to draw while listening to a playlist. Interpretation of the music was not to be a literal visual description of the lyrics, but a response to the rhythm, melody, syncopation and tone of the music. This is an important exercise in translating sound into color, mark making, and design.

The College Studio Summer Program: Essence of the Figure

One of our Summer 2012 College Studio classes was based on the live nude model. The students were given rules that they had to follow in order to capture the "essence" of the figure. The goal was not to portray the figure realistically, or study anatomy. The rules were provided to encourage the student to create a language of simplicity in order to capture the figure with a limited amount of information.

Students Working in the Studio

Our classes are structured similarly to studio art classes held in art programs at colleges and universities. The 3-hour format allows students to engross themselves in their work, and they are given the freedom to experiment with all types of materials and ideas.
