CREATIVE CORE FOUNDATIONAL
DIVERSE
All undergraduate Eskenazi School students take Creative Core classes during their first two years
Because any IU student can take Creative Core classes, you’ll learn what it means to collaborate and think across disciplines
THE CLASSES Intro to Art, Design, and Merchandising Color Drawing 3D Design
Students taking CREATIVE CORE classes are from all sorts of programs and majors, so you are able to see the different ways people approach problems. Last semester, I took a 3D Design Creative Core course. Each project we did was with a different medium: foam core, clay, acrylic, wood, and cardboard. It was very exciting to be able to learn how to use materials that I wouldn’t normally use.” —Katherine Patus

APPAREL MERCHANDISING (B.S.)
PASSIONATE
COLLABORATIVE
We study the intersection of fashion and retail through courses on product development, branding, and more
We showcase our business savvy by engaging with industry innovators and leading-edge merchants
After graduation, I’ll be heading to a job at Crate & Barrel in Chicago, where I interned last summer. I would not have gotten the internship if it weren’t for all the relevant classes I took. In one class, we looked at the frustrations of online shopping —the clothes don’t look the way you thought or they don’t fit. We conceptualized an app for a virtual fitting room and showed it to a local retailer. “ —Abbey Kittaka

IU made me very well-rounded. I took so many classes beside fashion design, like behavioral psychology, African Studies, economics,” says Cedric, who was also an All Big 10 member of IU’s track and field team, competing in long jump.

We learn to master the very latest design and digital drafting software: AutoCAD, Revit, and Rhino
When I worked as an intern for the IU Architect’s Office, I was able to utilize my experiences from the ID program to collaborate with design offices for upcoming projects. In school, I also learned to represent my designs, which helped when I was given multiple tasks for different projects. Dealing with almost 100 projects at a time, the office appreciated my organization and presentation skills. —Stacy Hardy 20

There’s a stigma that if you go to art school, you’ll have a hard time finding a job. But I always had an interest in business too. I minored in merchandising so that when I was working as a creative, I’d have the baseline of a business education to solve problems for my client.” Now a creative manager for social media at Starbucks in Seattle, Suzie says, “My job is a mix of left and right brain. I like that it involves data and testing. It’s measurable and highly creative.” —Suzie Reecer

The B.F.A. program is structured, but it also allows people to broaden their horizons and pursue things on their own. We get guidelines and we are provided with all the opportunities and resources we need, but it’s understood that we are more driven and motivated, so we can develop whatever specific skill sets we want. We have immediate access to faculty to show them our personal work.” —Tommy DeNardo 24
