72 Assignments: The Foundation Course in Art & Design Today
Edited by Chloe Briggs, 72 Assignments: The Foundation Course in Art and Design Today is intended as a practical source book for teachers, students, and anyone curious to try.
Almost a hundred years have passed since Johannes Itten developed the Bauhaus’ pioneering preliminary course-later to be widely known as the model and inspiration for what later came to be called the Foundation Course in Art and Design. This book comes from a desire to understand the Foundation courses as they exist today.
72 short assignments from around the world offer a reflection of current concerns, experiments, and ideas from artists, designers, educators and historians-the methods, skills, approaches, and key insights that working artists and teachers consider crucial to teaching in the twenty-first century.
This book brings together exercises related to a two-part conference called “A History Uncovered; A Future Imagined: The Foundation Course in Art and Design,” a collaboration between ‘Art School Educated,’ Tate Research and Paris College of Art held in London and Paris in June 2013.
