Presented by: Joanna Norton
What do pasta, refraction, hairdressing and architecture all have in common? When flicking through photos in a fashion magazine, at what stage do you stop to consider the geometry of the image? Connecting the Unconnected uses local context as a learning canvas to make links between concepts and disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach to learning will help you to start to connect design to lipstick and lipstick to literature. This hands-on workshop will also explore the role of collaboration in making such connections. The session will provide you with practical ideas to develop creative and thought-provoking learning contexts, where everyone is challenged.
