Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Set Design" module, part of the "Design Theory" group, provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to creating visual spaces within digital arts contexts. Students will explore techniques and processes for designing spaces that support visual storytelling, integrating traditional elements and modern technologies. The lectures will cover topics on the theory and history of set design and contemporary digital tools used in the field. Participants will learn the principles of set design in the context of visual media, such as films, video games, and interactive installations. The program also includes case studies and discussions on current trends in spatial design. The module aims to foster critical thinking and creativity in visual design approaches.
