IN13: INTERIOR DESIGN I
Introduction to aesthetic, cultural and functional considerations that shape the interior environment. Focus of lecture component is history of furniture, architecture and the decorative arts from ancient to Renaissance in both Western and Eastern cultures. Principles of design, color and textiles are explored as they relate to interior space. Studio sessions introduce design tools necessary for developing floor plans, scale drawings and elevations. Several major residential design projects are undertaken in which client and environmental considerations are addressed. (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio each week.) No prerequisite. (offered fall semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN14: INTERIOR DESIGN II
Continuation of Interior Design l in which more complex design problems are approached and drafting skills refined. Illustrated lectures give detailed history of our design heritage as we trace the development of English, American and modern architecture, furniture and aesthetic movements of the 20th century. Through studio sessions, a series of residential spaces are evaluated, client needs assessed, and trade sources explored so as to further develop the design process from an abstract to designed solution. Presentation, rendering techniques and oral skills are developed. An emphasis is placed on professionalism and oral communication skills. (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio each week.) Prerequisite: IN13 or permission of instructor. (offered spring semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN15: INTERIOR DESIGN III
Introduction to conceptual and practical methods of designing non-residential interior spaces (contract design work.) Emphasis on interplay of programming, bubble schematics, flow charts, color, texture and lighting to emphasize the power of design in public spaces. Thumbnail sketches and color studies are supplemented by floor plans, perspectives and isometric drawings. Creative presentation techniques and refined oral skills emphasized. (6 hrs. each week of studio.) Prerequisite: IN14 or permission of instructor. (offered fall semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN16 DESIGN SEMINAR
Capstone course which reviews information for the National Council of Interior Design Qualification Examination emphasizing NYS building codes and requirements of barrier-free design. Portfolio development is required. (2 hrs. of lecture each week.) Prerequisite: IN15 or permission of instructor. E / 2 cr. hrs.

VA17: ART HISTORY I
Introductory survey of principal movements and trends in painting, sculpture and architecture from pre-historic to Renaissance. No prerequisite. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA18: ART HISTORY II
Introductory survey of principal movements and trends in painting, sculpture and architecture from Renaissance to 19th century. (May be taken out of sequence.) No prerequisite. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA19: MODERN ART
Study of history of painting, sculpture and architecture from 1850 to the present. Emphasis primarily art of the 20th century. Lectures supplemented with slides, film and museum and gallery trips. No prerequisite. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA30: 2D DESIGN
Foundation course in two-dimensional design. Exploration of historical and contemporary concepts of space and pictorial composition. Studio problems employing elements of line, texture, shape, form and color. A basic course for painting, graphics, photography and commercial art. (4 studio hrs. each week.) No prerequisite. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA33: DRAWING I
Introduction to fundamentals of drawing. Drawing of objects to develop student’s understanding of proportion, value, perspective, form and shape. Develops accurate observation, understanding and memory of key forms, properties of illumination, and effective use of drawing materials. No prerequisite. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA34: DRAWING II
More detailed investigation of concepts explored in VA33: Drawing I. Investigation of various wet and dry drawing media. Prerequisite: VA33. A-E-W / 3 cr. hrs.

VA24: COLOR
Examines dimension of color in art from an historical perspective. Traces evolution of color theory and practice from early Renaissance to the present. Includes lectures with slide presentations and demonstrations directed toward obtaining consistent and controlled color effects. Also involves hands-on work with acrylic paints. Areas of study include theories of color harmony and contrast, color mixing and composition. (4 studio hrs. each week.) No prerequisite. E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN51: INTERIOR DESIGN GRAPHICS
Foundation course in process of visual communication for interior designers. One interior space of approximately 2,000 square feet is designed based on program and space analysis, building codes, and architectural and structural constraints. Two-dimensional working drawings such as floor, demolition, construction, furniture and lighting plans, and elevations are the graphic means for problem-solving. Three-dimensional drawings, axonometric and perspective, complete the design process. (6 studio hrs. each week.) Prerequisite: IN13. (offered fall semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN52: MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Synthesizing of product knowledge and finishes. Proper application and details stressed. Students develop a complete set of schedules for windows, doors, wall finishes, plumbing fixtures and lighting. Modelmaking, code requirements, barrier-free design, estimating and cost analysis are integrated into the series of drawings. (2 hrs. lecture, 4 hrs. studio per week.) Prerequisite: IN51 or permission of instructor. (offered spring semester only) E / 4 cr. hrs.

IN53: AUTOCAD FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Introduction to AutoCAD. Develops skills in basic drafting and editing commands, adding text and dimensions to drawings, plotting techniques, floor plans, elevations and symbol libraries. Also explores use of layers, blocks and attributes. Corequisite: IN14, IN51. (offered spring semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.

IN54: PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Introductory course which examines practical, financial, legal and business considerations of the practicing interior designer. Case studies provide the basis for formulation of contracts, cost and materials estimating, pricing, project development and letters of agreement. Professional ethics and interpersonal communication skills as they relate to the field and to client relationships are emphasized. Students required to participate in field trips that may exceed scheduled classroom hours. Prerequisite: IN14 or permission of instructor. (offered fall semester only) E / 3 cr. hrs.
