Time-travelling First-year Students (IDEA Grad 2023) Make their own Design History Book
Every Fall IDEA School of Design at Capilano University welcomes a new crop of first-years. As well as learning about creative thinking techniques, drawing and painting skills, and basic design principles, the students learn about the origins of communication design and illustration. In our four first-year survey classes they learn about how mankind went from verbal storytelling and cave paintings to Tweeting and Snapchat.
