FS101 MTH1010 ENG1010 ART1020 Creative individuals who design interiors create the spaces in which we spend most of our lives. We live, work, and play in environments designed by professionals who have a unique blend of artistic talent and practical experience. Interior designers must have a thorough understanding of efficient space planning, human factors, color, pattern, lighting, furniture, and materials. These elements are essential to the creation of residential and commercial spaces. Whether working for architectural or interior design firms, hotel or restaurant chains, department or furniture stores, or independently as consultants or firm owners, accomplished designers are adept at working with clients and understanding their needs. The courses that make up our Interior Design program are carefully balanced to provide a 3D understanding of space, form, and function. In early courses, students learn the basics of drawing, drafting, color, and design, and the fundamentals of space planning and perspective. In later quarters, students receive training in working drawings, detailing, and safety codes, and learn about textiles and the history of design. Students at The Art Institute are taken into a world where color, texture, fabric, and light are instruments that paint an environment. Students are introduced to computer-aided drafting (CAD) and sample the world of interior design in the studio, the showroom, and the business planning office. By graduation, students have learned to control space and affect perceptions through the application of their artforms: the way color elicits response; the effect of ambient and task lighting on efficiency; the ability of furniture design and placement to control mood and support function. We place great emphasis on the development of a working professional portfolio for every Interior Design student. Many of our instructors know first-hand what the industry wants and respects, and will help students refine their presentations. The Interior Design program at The Art Institute has been developed to educate a new generation of interior designers and prepare them for the challenges ahead. Graduates are prepared to seek entry-level positions such as draftsperson, assistant designer, and facilities or space planner. As graduates gain professional experience, many may obtain more advanced positions such as senior designer, project director, or sales representative. All courses in the Interior Design program are also available online. The Mission of the Interior Design Bachelor of Science degree program is to prepare students to obtain entry level positions in their field and function as trained professionals able to conceive and develop viable, creative design solutions within the interior environment. Students are prepared for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productively and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. By meeting the educational goals, students should develop an attitude of flexibility and a desire for lifelong learning necessary to meet the changing demands of the interior design profession.
