Rotational Geometry As A Teaching Tool: Applying The Work Of Giorgio Scarpa, Pino Trogu
Rotational Geometry As A Teaching Tool: Applying The Work Of Giorgio Scarpa, Pino Trogu
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper focuses on a teaching unit in drawing for design that uses and applies Giorgio Scarpa’s principles and methods in rotational geometry, as put forth in his book Modelli di Geometria Rotatoria, (Models of rotational geometry, 1978), and tests their validity through the construction of physical models built by the students. These models are derived from the sectioning of regular polyhedra such as the cube. The resulting modules can be re-configured into closed or open “chains” capable of folding back into their original minimal volume. This process has parallels in geometric folding, such as in linkages, origami, and polyhedra …
Music Iconography Used As Video Montage Guide – Conception, Development And Validation Of A Teaching Module In Communication Design, Jose Silva
Learn X Design Conference Series
The article proposed describes the findings retrieved from the researched carried out in the PHD in Design. The experience, combining sound, video and drawing, had as purpose design a learning experiment on Video montage in the scope of Communication Design. The drawing was used as music translation and provided guidance in conducting different paces in the moving image sequence. The use of drawing enabled the creation of a graphical score used in video montage as well as an implicit method to record the experience. The work can be described as a border line research making contact with distinct areas such …
Digital Gardens With Real Toads In Them: The Place Of Heritage Media In A Digital Art And Design Education, Iain Macdonald
Digital Gardens With Real Toads In Them: The Place Of Heritage Media In A Digital Art And Design Education, Iain Macdonald
Learn X Design Conference Series
At a time when digital media is regarded as orthodoxy in education, in advanced global economies there is a pressing argument to review the lessons of the past and reflect on whether they are still applicable. This paper will enquire into today’s issues with digital practices in art and design education using relevant, historical examples from the main changes in approach of the last century. It will also explain how the changes of approach to art and design education has affected the choice of materials, the stress on different skills and the values of different creative arts within the subject. …
Hooked On Peers’ Drawings: Learning Through The Visual Wildfire, Nina Scott Frisch
Hooked On Peers’ Drawings: Learning Through The Visual Wildfire, Nina Scott Frisch
Learn X Design Conference Series
Children’s drawing activity has been theorized as traces of cognitive and biological development, with cultural variations as minor sources of visual and traceable influence. Even though present, less research has been done on documenting the social aspect of drawing; seeing drawing as visual communication between children. This aspect of drawing development, or learning, is visually traceable, but is still often neglected because children´s drawings can be seen in light of a discourse emphasizing the individual solitude and expression of the professional artist. Collection of drawings, observations and interviews took place in one elementary school art room for one academic year …
Teaching And Evaluation Strategies For Drawing In Design Education: The Use Of Drawing Schemata As A Tool For The In-Class Development Of Drawing For Design, Nora Karina Aguilar, Jose Luis Hernandes Azpeitia
Teaching And Evaluation Strategies For Drawing In Design Education: The Use Of Drawing Schemata As A Tool For The In-Class Development Of Drawing For Design, Nora Karina Aguilar, Jose Luis Hernandes Azpeitia

Drawing education strategies have been centred in specific skill development models regarding observational accuracy, creativity or expression. New design curricula require effectively integrated proposals that develop these dimensions simultaneously and are focused in the development of professional competencies. Drawing is a fundamental medium to accomplish this task. This paper presents current results of a simple methodology being implemented at OUR INSTITUTION for the research, evaluation and development of drawing in our design students based on the concept of Schema (Kant,1787)(Piaget, 1927)(Andersen, 1977)(Eco, 1998). The fundamental hypothesis of this research is that drawing practice and learning is based in the binomial …
