The concept of "designerly well-being" identifies the value for individuals and society of the development of design capability inherent in all humans.

This is a story of design – of designing a viable present in transition from an increasingly obsolete past to a transformative future. More specifically, Karl Aspelund’s seven design process steps (2010) provided the framework for our curriculum redesign at a typical American Land Grant University. The inspiration surfaced from a combination of necessity and vision based on conditions within and around our design unit. Identification of the design problem resulted in key findings, among them that ours is a small design unit in a large university that explicitly favors STEM disciplines. Conceptualization provided a focus on human-centered design culture …

Art and design education hold a unique role in preparing the kinds of innovative, balanced, synthetic creators and thinkers needed in the 21st century. This paper sheds shed light on how learner-centered art classrooms, that incorporate design thinking as a balanced process, can better develop the overall learning capacity of students. In a mash-up between mixed model research involving the impact of learner-centered pedagogies on visual art students’ balanced intelligence and reviews of literature surrounding the promotion of depth and complexity of knowledge, new conceptual frameworks are offered. Towards a vision of fostering deep, connected, and independent thinkers, the author—as …
