New York Arts Practicum

designthinkingpsu:

Super interesting approach to arts education! Makes me wonder about teaching design within an institution and what the possibilities are for taking students out of the classroom and into the world.

mcadruralartsinitiative:

Another example of making arts education experience-based, rather than classroom-based.

THIS IS MY VISUAL LANDSCAPE. THE PLACE WHERE I RECORD PONDERINGS, SITINGS, MEETINGS AND OTHER HAPPENINGS.

I am an ethnographer, illustrator, publisher, graphic designer and educator. I am interested in telling stories with pictures.

I have just written, illustrated and published "What the Hell is Your Problem?" A Kit for Uptight White People.

If you click on the kit in the links section, you can check it out!

I lectured for six years at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. I also have a graduate Diploma in Education, and a Masters in Cross Disciplinary Design.
I have taught Communication Design at private colleges, and set up the inaugural Communication Design Program for the Box Hill Institute in Kuwait. Most of my past professional design work has involved designing identities for grass roots organisations, such as community health centres, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

I am interested in the developing role of Design as an agent for positive social change, around which I centred my final masters project, by designing a "kit for uptight white people", to raise civil engagement.
