In the fall semester of Materials &amp; Dimensions, students work in printmaking, photography, &amp; 3D, while in the spring semester they choose to focus on one of these areas. While the required credit load for the Foundation year is 30 credits, students are strongly encouraged to take an elective in the area they plan to focus on for their degree.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the curriculum includes a year long course in Intro to Digital Media, two semesters of Critical Thinking &amp; Writing, as well as Art History courses both semesters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-1-2 t-col-1-1 m-col-1-1 postition-bottom-of-2\">\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"textbody\">\n<p>The Foundation year in the US system and in our school is not a preparation course, but the first year of the 4-year degree, and therefore is required.
