COURSE DESCRIPTION
The 3rd course in the LASGS Career Pathway sequence, serves as an exploratory course in Design for Social Change that develops visual communication skills, advertisement concepts and applies media applications. Students become an intern within a graphic design studio environment learning to implement social change in their community. The student will learn to use Design Thinking as the creative process for brainstorming, testing, and applying design for social change concepts. They will also design and create graphics products applying design principles and Adobe software programs as presentation tools, all to support any class projects. Students will also learn visual thinking/sketching techniques as a form to communicate ideas.
ORGANIZATION: A Collaborative Learning Environment
This is a “learn by doing” design studio in which learning is facilitated both by teacher and students. Digital workshops and projects are given for deeper learning and the application of design ideas and skills that are applied directly into your community. As a Global Leader and designer, students will be expected to complete work during class period (synchronous) AND independently (asynchronous), collaborate with their teams (including individualized tasks), submit work on time according to deadlines and clients, to achieve the final project goal as a real design professional performs in a design studio firm (office). Students will be expected to apply 21st century skills in a real world setting and will be reflected in your Collaboration and Agency grade. And remember, your teacher also loves to learn from you!
