Master Lecture Series - Learning How to Learn:
Weingart’s Educational Algorithm
(此部份暫只提供英文版本)
Speaker: Don Adleta
Regarded as the “enfant terrible” of modern Swiss typography, Wolfgang Weingart has revolutionised typography rules since the mid-1960s, shaping generations of designers as a typography teacher at the Basel School of Design for over 30 years. Don Adleta will review his experience with the Swiss typographer’s method of teaching within the historic Advanced Class at the Basel School of Design, and address the educational process that was developed in Weingart’s classes, including evolving results; retrospectively assessing the results comparatively; seeing associations and relationships; and identifying an aesthetic and contextual order that brings the content to a level where it becomes a visual statement.
Don Adleta is Professor Emeritus of Graphic Design at Ohio University, where he has served as Chair of Graphic Design for over 20 years. He has taught and lectured at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India, the Wellington Polytechnic in New Zealand, the Rhode Island School of Design, and throughout the United States. His award-winning Adleta Perpetual Calendar is in the permanent collections in Serbia’s Novi Sad Museum of Art and Design and Zurich’s Museum für Gestaltung.
