There is no better season than summer for exploration—whether exploration of places, ideas or artmaking. This semester, new and existing courses challenge you to explore new areas of interest, new ways of thinking and new skills.

Learn how to “read a city” with architectural historian John Tschirch in a trio of courses including A Tale of Three Cities, Mapping Newport, and Mapping Boston (page 17). Develop a personal design philosophy and identity system in Exploring Your Professional Identity Through Mapping (page 18). Or step outside the bounds of traditional printmaking and into the experimental in Printmaking Studio: Collagraphy + the Built Print (page 10).

Whether you have three hours, a weekend or six weeks, explore your interest in fine art, craft and design with a summer course that fits your schedule.

Visit ce.risd.edu for full course descriptions, prerequisites and registration information.

FOUNDATION Foundational skills in observational drawing, design and color develop the ability to understand and practice ideation and creative problem solving, and to absorb fundamental design principles such as composition and the use of color, line, shape, form, value, texture and spatial relationships. Successful careers in architecture, apparel, product design and digital media can be accelerated by understanding these concepts just as they would for a fine art painter, sculptor or jeweler.

In addition to Applied Color (below, offered each semester), RISD|CE Foundation courses include Drawing I, Design, and Digital Design Techniques (offered in Fall and Spring).

Applied Color Deborah Forman, Suzette Cozzens, Joanna Catalfo, Karen Triedman

Bridging the divide between color theory and color practice, this course distills the essentials of color mechanics into workable studies and projects. Students explore color through exercises using collage and paint to understand color and how to use it effectively.
