This second 2-dimension (2-D) visual language course continues the exploration of the elements and principles of visual language begun in Visual Language 1. This is an intensive course focusing on primarily on design and concept development to arrive at a personal solution to a given theme or problem. This design component is covered in Module 1 and supported by two introductory modules; one on printmaking and the other on photography.

This course introduces the student to the creation of models in three dimension, it assumes a knowledge of two dimensional drafting experience as its basis.

This course introduces the student to the manipulation (create and edit) of objects in three dimension,then the application of materials, lighting and finally scene creation. 

This course explores the question ‘what is 3D?’ It considers differences between 3D and 2D; looks into concepts and terms of reference such as positive and negative space, surface texture, visual texture marks of process and patina, and explores via projects the inspirational, provocative and personal aspects and uses of form.
