The way this course was designed has helped. I think it’s the way these topics are taken from different perspectives- from the historian, different political views and the lecturer. Because we are forced, or really I guess it is up to us, to read and appreciate what’s happened and how all of that had built up into what design is today. I think there has been some effective learning here although perhaps some more class discussions would contribute to this.
I think that being able to identify or actually being able to understand why some things are done has helped me personally to interpret design and what it’s about to me. Learning about the reasoning behind why people created works of art and design due to social/political influences as well as their own contexts and backgrounds has made me think about why I do, not just design but really anything and what it means. So I guess this class has helped me, it’s a nice change from solely focussing on big hand ins and projects- something I can build on and somehow contribute to.
