Description

For each lesson in this course you will watch an episode from the Netflix series, Abstract. Each episode features an artist in a specific design discipline. There are 8 lessons in this course. (Netflix has made the series available on Youtube.)

In each lesson there is:

• Points to be pondered, discussed or reflected upon regarding design and the elements of it.
• Some assignments like recording quotes, research and reflecting on the artist and episode. (Included in the course are some notebook worksheets to complete your assignments.)
• Lastly, there is 2 projects to complete for each artist/episode. (Ranging from creating an illustration series to creating a stage design and other pieces that would be great as art/design portfolio pieces.)

Please allow at least 1-4 weeks for each lesson, as planning, executing and compiling presentations of the projects will take up some time.
