Design class activity: Style transfer
Presentation description
Looking for ideas for making your Design classes engaging and productive? This workshop will give you a taste of the class activities featured in the new edition of Nelson Design for QCE, which is being published this year.
You’ll learn how and when to conduct the 'Style Transfer' ‘design studio’ activity in your Year 11 or 12 class to support design projects. 'Style Transfer' is a way of trying different aesthetic approaches for a design. It helps students move beyond their unconscious assumptions about styles to quickly expand and explore ideas for their current project. The method can be used as part of a design project or as an independent, short class exercise.
You’ll experience the activity in the same way students do. All the essential materials will be provided (A3 paper, pens, markers) but if you have favourite sketching media you’re welcome to bring them.
This method was developed at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and is used within its industrial design programme but is broadly applicable to all types of design.
