‘What I did on my summer vacation’<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, I spent four full days with a handful of some really cool teens. <\/p>\n

I found myself saying, ‘Yes, I’ll do it. What is it?’<\/em> to teaching a week-long Summer Studio<\/em> workshop at Ai Sacramento.<\/a><\/p>\n

I called the whole thing ‘Designer Mashup’<\/em> – and set about having my students mix contemporary designers with historical luminaries. <\/p>\n

Design history, research, handmade collages, form studies and handing work off to other students (to reinterpret) were part of the process.<\/p>\n

Pictured, some of the final pieces.<\/p>\n

Designers studied included Paula Scher, Georges Braque, Josef Albers, El Lisstizky, Rick Griffin, Jessica Hische, Raoul Hausmann, Marian Bantjes, Hannah H\u00f6ch, Alvin Lustig, Shepard Fairey and David Carson.<\/p>\n
