Art Education & Design Education
What does art education have to do with design?
In this two-part episode, we meet Margaret Hull, a professor of fashion merchandising and design at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Margaret straddles the worlds of art and design.
In the conversation, we dive into the reason behind this podcast: going beyond aesthetics. Art and design are often defined by the visuals that they produce, but there’s more to it than that.
As you’ll find out in the episode, there is much more than aesthetics. It’s not that we ignore aesthetics; we go beyond.
In this episode, we discuss:
Feedback and critiques
The importance of knowing your audience/user
How research plays a role in the artistic practice
Art as a pedagogy
