Instructor:

Pratt Institute
Brooklyn, New York
Industrial Design Undergraduate Department

Instructor for three dimensional form course required of all industrial design undergraduates. This intensive four credit course explores the spatial interaction of volumes, planes and lines so that students becomes comfortable with the abstract language of visual form. Skills are then applied to solving and refining complex improvised "accidents" into striking design statements.
