Creative Expression, Practice, and Production
Students engage in individual and collaborative creative expression, exploration, or production, such as in performance, visual art, composition, design, or technology. They engage with tools, techniques, methods, design processes, technologies, and materials for creating works that express, innovate, or create solutions to problems.
Creative Expression, Practice, and Production (FC-CREATE) is a required Focus Capacity course in the IDEAs in Action curriculum.
A single course may be used to fulfill only one Focus Capacity requirement (not including lab).
