The course HGD176 - Intro to Graphic Design Digital Drawing is offered by the Fashion Institute of Technology's Center for Continuing & Professional Studies. It serves as an entry point into the world of design with Adobe Illustrator, using vector drawing software to generate illustrations and graphics. The primary objective is to equip students with digital drawing skills that bring their creative concepts and characters to life. This course is particularly beneficial for students working on their portfolios. The delivery format of the course is in-person, held at the main campus of the Fashion Institute of Technology. The course runs through the Fall semester, from late September to mid-December, with classes scheduled every Saturday from 9:30AM to 12:30PM. The total contact hours for the course amount to 30.0 hours. While instructor details are not specified, the course is open to high school students entering grades 9 through 12 as of the upcoming Fall semester. Students are expected to have access to a computer with Adobe Illustrator, a USB stick or thumb drive, a sketchpad or plain paper, a drawing tool, and a scanner or camera (a smartphone camera would suffice).
