COURSE NAME
Typography In/With/For Space
 DESN XXX-XX
Kansas City Art Institute

COURSE DESCRIPTION
 In what ways might typography and language manifest in an artistic practice? This studio elective course begins with a series of workshops focused on the fundamentals and principles of typography. The course offers exposure to artistic practices and inquiries that engage language in space — physical, virtual, digital, material, and augmented spatial constructs. In a proposal-based format, students work with typography at multiple scales. A strong interest in developing work that engages language is encouraged and expected. No prior experience with typography or graphic design courses is required.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
 — Extend one’s understanding and exposure to various histories within which typography, scripts, lettering, and language
— Develop and activate a strong foundation in typography — typographic elements,
— Incorporate quick, lo-fi prototyping processes for ideas/forms in lo-fi materials (paper, cardboard, projection) and balanced with careful consideration of material, production and craft.

COURSE STRUCTURE
This course begins with an intentional focus on the fundamental principles and elements of typography, with special attention to the context of design history and contemporary art and design practices. In-class workshops and assignments will progress toward student-proposed months-long projects. These projects may lead towards multiple projects, series  of works, collaborative and individual projects.
