My classes are designed to challege your mind. We are so bogged down to only working on "processed mind," leaving very little room to create your own think tank.Take brave steps and let your mind travel freely, where at the end you will find the true meaning of creativeness. Take pictures that can enhance your thought process, do something you always wanted to do, but thought you could never do. My class is open to all kinds of experimental process. There is no wrong answer.

Design History

Why Should be coming to the IID

Design History strives to explore the different historical events, artistic media, technological changes and various philosophical theories, so as to provide us with the cognitive and methodological tools we need to place our own works in a broader social, economic and cultural phenomena. History helps us to assert that design is not a fall-back profession for aspiring artists, but an independent practice with its own culture. Furthermore, It would be crucial to develop analytical and critical abilities to interprete our current design activities.
