Design, Learning, and Collaboration -- Spring 2007
|
Gerhard Fischer (gerhard@colorado.edu)
Hal Eden (haleden@colorado.edu)
Time: Monday and Wednesday 4:00-5:15 pm
Location: Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL 1B50)
4/30 from Hal
Some notes from Jim on next session (Weds)
This lesson will explore two concepts:
sketch: a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished work, often consisting of a multitude of overlapping lines. Sketches usually serve quickly to record ideas for later use (source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_%28drawing%29)
activity theory: complex, socially situated phenomena. Activity theory is aimed at understanding the mental capabilities of a single human being, however, it rejects the isolated human being as an adequate unit of analysis, focusing instead on cultural and technical mediation of human activity (excerpts from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_theory).
This class will be a "hands-on" exploration in sketching human activities … please visit the assignment page, bring sharp minds and dull pencils!
