Foundation Program
- HER-X 101 Foundation Resources Workshop (1 cr.) This course serves to introduce students to the resources at Herron, IUPUI, and Indianapolis. This seminar, while teaching students how to develop study skills, time management, and utilization of resources needed for success in the university setting, will include content specific to Herron’s curricular mission.
- HER-F 121 Two-Dimensional Design (3 cr.) P: Admission to the Herron School of Art and Design.
Introduction to basic design and color theory through the manipulation of imagery and color in two-dimensional media. Students explore basic two-dimensional concepts such as figure /ground, grouping principles, grid, symmetry, rhythm, and pattern. As a result of this course, students develop a visual language for analyzing, organizing, and communicating two-dimensional and color theory principles.
- HER-F 123 Three-Dimensional Design (3 cr.) P: Admission to the Herron School of Art and Design. This course introduces basic concepts of three-dimensional art and design through a series of assignments dealing with the organization of space and form using a variety of materials, processes, and tools. Students investigate formal, functional, and conceptual issues while developing effective material choices, construction methods, and safe studio working habits.
- HER-D 101 Drawing I (3 cr.) P: Admission to Herron School of Art and Design. Introduction to the basic skills of drawing and development of sound observational skills. Working from nature, manufactured objects, and the human figure, students develop their draftsmanship with an emphasis on space, proportion, and structure.
- HER-D 102 Drawing II (3 cr.) P: D101. This course serves as a continuation of issues addressed in D101 with a greater emphasis on compositional aspects and spatial configurations. The human figure serves as a major point of investigation with an emphasis placed on anatomical understanding and accurate portrayals of form and proportion.
- HER-F 130 Studio Art and Technology (3 cr.) P: Admission to the Herron School of Art and Design.
Students become familiar with a variety of practices utilizing digital media. Through a hands-on approach, students develop an understanding of computational media as it applies to art and design practice. Students are introduced to digital image manipulation, computer aided design, 3D rendering, and output mechanisms such as 3D printing and other types of digital fabrication.
- HER-F 131 Image: 4D Studio (3 cr.) P: Admission to the Herron School of Art and Design.
This course introduces students to basic concepts of image, motion, sound and time-based narratives. Students will use a variety of digital applications including, photography, video, sound and computer generated images.
- HER-F 132 Building/Making (2cr.) (2 cr.) P: Admission to the Herron School of Art and Design.
This course introduces students to basic concepts of image, motion, sound and time-based narratives. Students will use a variety of digital applications including, photography, video, sound and computer generated images.
