Why am I doing this course ?

Well to tell the truth , i also not sure. i guess i wanted to learn about designing because i love to draw . i like those creative things , mind blowing thing and also those  abstract design ;etc. i suck in accounting or mathematics . so Graphic design and multimedia is the best choice for to me to choose. because i can learn those skills and programs.

Is History of Art & Design necessary for my large goals?

Well, in my opinion i guess is necessary because that we can learn from the pass and what kind of design and method they use in their design . We can take their artwork to use as reference and remake it into new that can be accept by the new generation with the mix of the pass design . So History of Art & Design is very important to my large goals . Other than that, well when we gain more knowledge and the more creative we will be,  we can use the knowledge from this subject to improve ourselves.
