Draw By Night #33 - The Hand Off
What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Digital Design instructor Myron Campbell, you turn those ingredients into Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party. At Draw By Night, artists can work collaboratively on pieces, or by themselves on their own section. The only emphasis is on getting everyone drawing. Participants are encouraged to use Twitter or other social media to discuss the event and post pictures, allowing real-time engagement with the drawing community. They can also post ideas and comments that are often integrated into the next event.

As part of the team building component of Term 1 Project Management, students are given a box of dollar store objects and a mission: keep a marble moving along a course for as long a time as possible, with it ending up falling into an egg cup. Armed with plastic necklaces, dominoes, bendy straws, a roll of toilet tissue and other priceless objects, teams compete to create the best design to meet the goal. Upon completion, the teams analyze their designs for strengths and weaknesses and process key team dynamic components — How were design decisions made? How were disagreements resolved? How was leadership determined? Did team members contribute equally to the vision and how did they each fare when it came to implementation?

As part of the Term 5 elective, Experimental 2D Graphics, we spend one entire class in a room with no computers. We bring all sorts of materials together like paint, magazines, pencils, markers, and glue. Each student uses all these materials to create hand-made textures to scan-in for later use in their digital work.
This exercise is one of many that suggests that not all answers to visual problems lie behind your computer screen. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty!

The theme of our recent Digital Design Talks was originality — a mix of all that is wonderful and inspirational. Tim Shetz, a designer and instructor from San Francisco, started the talk with the topic, ‘Be An Originator, Not a Duplicator’. Then, our student, Dalhi Guzman Inzunza, presented his paintings and unique graphic compositions done at VFS. Finally, Boca (Marcos) Ceravolo, our alumni who specializes in motion, showed the students his latest project, ‘MTV Brazil’s 2011 VMB’.

2D Graphics 3 is an elective course that combines techniques from both Illustrator and Photoshop. The class analyzes and deconstructs current styles and trends, such as “Street Art” and how the movement has expanded beyond graffiti into things like yarn-bombing, wheat-pasting, stenciling, sticker art and LED art. The students then emulate this style.

The design industry is built upon the principles of composition and storytelling across all media. More and more, the lines of traditional mediums are blurring. As such, designers who understand mixed-media ideation are in high demand. This term 6 course focuses on the combination of digital and analogue techniques to efficiently produce stop motion animation for compelling narratives. This course is built on the principles of teamwork, organization, and experimentation; students work in teams, while contributing to a single class project.
