This condensed survey course focuses on four key periods or themes from the history of design in the West. Together we’ll trace the emergence of design as a recognized practice, why things look the way they do, and how designers approached specific design problems in their work.
Students will develop an understanding of where the wide variety of today’s design practice comes from. By participating in this survey of the works of innovative groups and individuals, we outline the process by which graphic design moved from a purely instrumental practice, to becoming a demanding creative and hybridized field.
What Will You Learn?
- Look at the effects of industrialization in the late 19th century
- How design emerged as a recognized practice.
- Eyes of four key designers.
- look at the work of four key players/movements.
