Instructor: Patrick Smith

Students use traditional media (drawing, sculpting, model making), construction of small installations and digital media to expand the way they think about their work and therefore the way they envision how we live next to man-made objects. Students discover and document their own design process finding new relationships between people, space, light and materials in indoor spaces, in gardens and public spaces. Topics covered include a wide range of multidimensional media and various forms of spatial design that have a strong influence on ergonomics, animation, forms created by nature and inventions accepted through time behind a collective memory. Class assignments cover the design of objects, installations, architectural design and kinetic design.
