ElizabethСAPPs favorite class has been Basic Design I (DSGN 101) taught by James Tancill.
СAPPIt was my first class as a college freshman, and it was the perfect balance of being taught a skill then applying it,СAPP she said. СAPPThe projects themselves were fun because they had the right amount of limitations to liberties. My thoughts on what design could be were expanded and I loved it.СAPP
The variety of classes available for visual arts majors has been a major plus for Elizabeth.
