The 302010 project involved exercises that investigated the evolution of pattern and mark-making. This was accomplished through the use of photography, drawing with pen, collaging, and the construction of a 3D sculpture and/ or color interaction.
Students collaborated within groups to define, design, and construct a largescale processional form. Themes of the three-dimensional design such as mass, volume, materiality, fabrication, kinetic function, and behavior were explored.
The Place project challenged students to identify, develop and concept and explain the idea of Place through a series of exercise prompts that addressed observational and experiential information. Students were able to define their understanding of Place through the accomplishments of documenting observations through reflective and creative writing, development of conceptional interventions while engaging in various visual representational strategies.
At the heart of the Core Design Program is the education of students who are eager to develop skills within design. With your help, we offer unique and innovative projects every semester that give students opportunities to explore design, experiment with materials, and showcase their creations. At the same time, they are educationally prepping for a lifetime of application of their skills in the design world.
All funds go to the creation of Core Design Program projects, which focus on the educational and creative experiences of our students, and the exhibition of their hard work.
There are two ways to contribute a gift to the Core Design Program. The first option is to mail a check with a note that specifies the designation: Core Design Program. Mail to Iowa State University Foundation, 2505 University Blvd., P.O. Box 2230, Ames, IA 50010-2230.
The second option is to make a gift online. For “Selected Designation,” select “I want to support a fund not listed” and list “Core Design Program” in the notes section.
Find your place at Iowa State University’s College of Design, where we like to ask questions, poke and prod, create something new, and make a difference through design.
