Students should note that they are responsible for purchasing their own art supplies, equipment, software subscriptions, and/or books, typically costing under $200. Although specific curriculum details are not provided in the available information, the course's focus on design exploration suggests that students will likely engage with various design principles and techniques. The exact prerequisites or requirements for participation are not specified, but it can be inferred that a foundational understanding of design principles may be beneficial. Upon completion, participants are expected to have gained a deeper understanding of design, which can contribute to their overall skill set and knowledge in this field.
