In a departure from conventional learning and teaching, this New York State course syllabus was planned to provide high school students with opportunities in design and drawing, and experiences in creative thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving. The two-semester course presents an introduction to a universal graphic language by using methods to solve design and production problems employed by industrial engineering and architectural firms. Included in the syllabus are required course materials and outlines for developing skills in the areas of: (1) technical drawing; (2) design; (3) research; (4) historical references; (5) skills; (6) linkage; and (7) evaluation. A 44-item bibliography is attached and technical information related to teaching art design is appended. (NL)
