Synopsis

This short book is intended as an angry, but measured response to the Government's new National Curriculum proposals for Design and Technology and Art and Design in England. However its scope is much wider than national or 'subject' boundaries, as it is written from the standpoint of Design Education. The new curriculum proposals are frankly astonishing. They are a tired re-hash of old-fashioned approaches and ideas. How such a document came to be written is hard to understand but the result is not recognizable either as current good practice, or as the views of any of the organizations who might have been consulted for informed and authoritative proposals. There is little to be gained by Loughborough Design Press joining in the chorus of criticism that will certainly be directed at this folly. We support the criticism of course, but also believe the time has come to put forward a more relevant vision of the future. This book provides the starting points for such a vision. The book is structured round the 2010 John Eggleston Memorial Lecture given by Ken Baynes at the Design and Technology Association Education and International Research Conference at Keele University. The lecture was entitled 'Models of Change: The future of design education' and proposed seven key themes around which a future vision of design education could be framed. In this book, we have invited leading academics in the design education field to develop the discussion further: The aims of design education - Phil Roberts The significance of practical education - Eddie Norman & Ken Baynes Encouraging the imagination - Stephanie Atkinson The cognitive value of aesthetic awareness - Krysia Brochocka & Ken Baynes The value of learning through making - Gill Hope The creative relationships between designing and making - Niall Seery & Eddie Norman The educational purpose of doing design projects - Eileen Adams

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Ken Baynes' initial education was as a stained glass designer at a rural art school in Devon and the Royal College of Art in London. However, he has spent his professional career working as a designer, cultural historian and advocate of design education. At the centre of his work, have been two main themes: the use of exhibitions as a medium for education and entertainment and the attempt to develop better strategies for teaching art and design. He was Head of the Design Education Unit at the Royal College of Art and a Visiting Professor at the Loughborough Design School. Working with the Welsh Arts Council he developed a series of pioneering exhibitions that explored the relationship between art and society. With his wife Krysia he has specialized in exhibitions that appeal to children and family groups and which emphasize making and aesthetic awareness. They have been shown in London, Scandinavia, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the United States. He worked with Malachite to research and present two television series on design for Channel 4. His books include About Design, Art in Society and (with Francis Pugh) The Art of the Engineer. Eddie Norman is Emeritus Professor of Design Education at Loughborough Design School (LDS), UK. His research concerns the relationship of technologies and designing in relation to general and higher education, and associated pedagogical issues. He was leader of the Design Education Research Group, published widely and supervised 7 PhD students. He contributed to teaching at LDS on undergraduate and masters design programmes. He has been an External Examiner for undergraduate and masters programmes and PhD research submissions (eg Bath Spa, Brunel, Goldsmiths, NIE Singapore and the University of Limerick). He remains Editor of Design and Technology Education: an international journal and has recently founded the specialist publisher Loughborough Design Press Ltd with Ken Baynes. Prior to joining LDS he had careers both in secondary education and as a professional engineer.
