Design Research Methods - RSA project - IDEAS

Some ideas for the RSA project

Here are some ideas to the Design Week schedule. 

The first idea is about give to each student a post-it with this sentence printed: "Graphic Design is..." and the students (and teachers) have to complete the sentence with what they think. It could be a word, more than one word, a draw, anything!

Thinking about the target's age I thought i would be interesting that this illustrators could paint a big frame/score board/panel with the students, asking them for some ideas and work with them.

While I was searching, I saw a competition online where the topic was defining Graphic Design in a poster! I found this idea great to implement in this project as well. We could to this as an enterprise. Students would have to design a poster defining graphic design in one week and the best poster would be showed in the Design Museum.

The other idea is to invite illustrators/designers to show their work and give some lectures, hopping that with that we can engage some students about Graphic Design and show to teachers other ways to approach this subject in the class.

 

And because the design week will be running for 5 days, why not 5 different ideas/projects running as well? OK! So the 5th idea is to create a playful area. The students will have the freedom to draw/create/design what they want. It will be provided silkscreens, t-shirts, posters, areas to play a sport while creating, and a craft room. LET'S BE CREATIVE!!!!!!!
