Detailed Description
Interior Decorating is the process of creating interiors for three-dimensional spaces we live and work in. In this course, students will apply the principles and elements of design to explore the organization of objects in space. Students will use a variety of materials and media, integrating conceptual sketching and problem solving skills to explore three-dimensional form/space relationships. Assignments and in-class exercises will focus on objects and forms as well as space and interiors.
