Planning for #VDEF24 has began with a proposed date of September 24th and 25th 2024
Register here to be a speaker for #VDEF24
This event will build on the success of #VDEF23, #VDEF22, #VDE21, #VDEF20 and #ADEF19, bringing design education specialists from all over the world, to share their teaching and learning experience, their similarities and differences in teaching Art and Design at an international level, while rediscovering the common language of art and design. Our speakers will be proposing creative, direct and applicable solutions to the many challenges that affect art and design education today.
Our mission is to bring together industry, lecturers and students to discover new ways of working together, forging curriculum that is more appropriate for this time. This is a is a practitioner’s forum that seeks solutions that are immediately applicable for the betterment of Art and Design Education as a whole. This year’s forum will take place currently online.
At the New Art School, we are a team of committed individuals that are creating the next generation of artists and designers through a curriculum that is centred on observation and hand, heart, eye coordination. We encourage the use of hands, that is ultimately what distinguishes us from a mac monkey. We will also be completely abolishing failure and grading systems. Our focus is on ideas, ideals, skills and abilities aiming to reverse the current climate of blandism, ultimately creating independent individuals able to design their life. Since a great deal of information on art and design is now widely available, our focus is on learning via doing while the students take complete responsibility for their learning.
