DESIGN IV-402 — 12 UNITS
A senior project agreed upon in conference by the student and the Head

organization of esthetic knowledge applied to any important problem,
in decoration, industrial design or commercial application, allows greater
latitude of choice as to final project than any other single field. By the
same token, offering greater opportunities, it demands greater responsibility: only students who have excelled in all four required fields of
drawing, design, sculpture and pamting will be permitted to specialize
in design.
