Teaching Design

Ron was invited to serve as one of the guest speakers at the "Teaching Design" Tour, Panel Discussion, and Workshop event at the Wexner Center for the Arts on 04/25/06.

Guests in attendance were able to explore the field of design and design education in collaboration with The Ohio State University's Department of Industrial, Interior, and Visual Communication Design and Columbus Public Schools.

The Wexner Center for the Arts offered this description of the workshop on their web site:

"...In this workshop, you will tour the exhibition "Extreme Textiles", interact with a panel of design educators, explore design as a focus of interdisciplinary connections, and learn how to introduce design to your students through projects that make them aware of how designers approach real-world problems..."

Art, Science and classroom teachers were encouraged to attend. Ron was very pleased with the enthusiastic interaction of the participants who attended the workshop. He offered demonstrations, fielded questions from the audience and enjoyed the experience.
