Invigorate your design process in Copenhagen this summer and participate in an intensive, two-week, sensory-based design workshop.
Immerse yourself in Danish design, history and culture from an insider's perspective and discover how a passion for creating exceptional design is woven into the fabric that forms Denmark.
Students in this course tour the studios of notable Danish designers and gain insight into their thought processes, visit historic architectural sites, tour museums, bike through the cobbled city streets as the natives do, and take day trips to scenic parts of the country.
Your point of view is found through your senses as you focus on taste, texture, smell, sight and sound as a means to connect with your surroundings. You are introduced to the topic of the senses and design
through readings, discussions and exercises that yield innovative approaches to creative concepts. A sensory-based process guides you as you record the happenings of the city and the nuances of the culture.
This process will help to expand your personal awareness as you begin to 'sense' through a new point of view, and as a visual communicator, will help to broaden and strengthen your design skills so that you may gain the tools necessary to invite full sensory participation into your own work. Each student creates a final process notebook, which serves as a tangible method of creating and can be used for a lifetime
of generating work.
This course — led by Stephanie Grey (RISD, MFA GD'04), an award-winning Boston-based graphic designer who has lived, worked and taught design in Denmark — challenges your current methods of creating (and experiencing the world) and helps stir, invigorate and add value to your information, products and experiences.
Cost$3450.00
A note about the cost: two items to pay attention to when deciding the value of this workshop are the opportunity to receive undergraduate credit (3 credit courses are typically $3000), and the list of included items in the tuition (see below for specifics). Copenhagen is an expensive city, however, most meals are already covered in the tuition, and outside of a minimal cost for art supplies, participants should not have to spend much more in addition to the tuition. I can put together a potential cost scenario for you if you wish. SG
