In one of my past reflection exercises, I mentioned that I thought students would be more interested in learning about different ways of communicating in design and that the focus of the learning would be through a “studio-like” working environment. What I was trying to put through was to get the students working through a project using the design studio as the environment. I felt that students need to create more project briefs and to collaborate together in concept learning sessions where students would present their initial concepts and in a group dissimulate and analyze the problem, sharing ideas. I was trying to model the project just as it could have been done in a design studio. The problems that I see now with this model is that the students at that level/interest in graphic design were not ready to work in an environment they were not committed to. This posed another problem of learning. Possibly this structure hindered the individual learning process of graphic design elements such as a image and form and pushed a superficial and forced practice. Using the studio setting for beginner design students also contradicts my other goal of the curriculum development which was to push a deep learning style where students could dig deeper and reflect on their process.
