MFA student project review
April 19, 2010
For the last four months, I've been teaching a class in research methods at the School of Visual Arts' new MFA program in Interaction Design (which partly explains the glacial pace of posting around here lately).
It's been an interesting
process so far, as the students have been exploring the intersection of
research and design by way of a set of team projects that have been
running in parallel between my class and another class in design
prototyping taught by Robert
Fabricant and his colleagues at frog design.As
the semester draws to a close, the students are getting ready to show
the fruits of their labors at a semi-public presentation next Thursday
4/29 (see flyer below for details). Anyone who's interested is welcome
to attend; we ask only that you RSVP to interactiondesign@sva.edu
Hope to see you there.
