• Meredith Davis - Two Lectures on Design & Education
  3/25/2013

  Design in K-12 Education

  What does K-12 design education look like when we privilege a different ranking of priorities than we find in traditional art education and what do art educators need to know to be able to deliver this instruction? And what role can designers play in K-12 education beyond that of career counseling?
  
  Thursday, April 4, 4:00pm --- 107 Art & Design Building
  
  Lectureship supported by the Lorado Taft Lectureship on Art Fund / College of Fine and Applied Arts

  ----------

  Professional Design Education in a Shifting Professional Landscape

  How do we prepare the future professoriate in ways that meet the demands of contemporary practice and education? The lecture will raise questions about what constitutes a 21st century design education and those things we should challenge about the way we teach.

  Examining the influence of craft and ornamentation through the work of theorists, writers, and artists, Kim Cridler will touch on issues of repetition, ideas about beauty and originality, the place of empathy in art, and the essential struggle towards change. Cridler will examine the vessel form and discuss the cultural uses of presentation silver, the vessel as an icon of continuity, and her own interest in ornamentation.
