BELOW ARE A FEW PROJECTS AND IDEAS FOR A CONCEPT COURSE (INCOMPLETE)
Design is a tool that can teach people how to learn. In this, is the power to make anything happen. Self-expression is a means of self-understanding. Designers rarely self-express, but rather express for clients or entities. College is becoming ever more vocational training and less about self-discovery, understanding of self and thus the world. What does the pedagogy of critical thinking look like today? Is 'problem solving' being taught in design and other fields of study or are we teaching strategies to amend symptoms? (UN)KNOWN is a course that explores art + design in regard to the aforementioned, because all we can do is ask questions.
