This course will explore painting as a means of design that goes beyond the representational and into the prototypical. We will examine the fundamentals of painting and drawing; line, tone, colour, and begin to explore how these techniques of painting can be utilized in the creation of physical objects. The paintings will go through several iterations on the digital canvas (Photoshop) before being translated through a series of soft and hardware, (3D Max, Zbrush, illustrator, CNC) into their final state.
