ID 484 – Visiting Designer Course: Some excerpts from the students’ works
It was an extraordinary experience for me to conduct an online course / workshop with students who were locked in their homes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thanks to the participating students and Mrs Özlem Er for inviting me.
ID484 Visiting Designer – Koray Özgen
The aim was to reinforce the intellectual enquiry through project-based learning and to encourage students to demonstrate their creative ideas and solutions through different assignments.
“Carrot as a making material”, “Istanbul Earthquake : First 72 hours !” and “Slim waisted (incebelli) tea glass : Up cycle tentations”
There were short introductory lectures every week. The participation was the main vector of the course, which would facilitate the performances on the assignments.
Students having 7 different nationalities and coming from three different departments have participated in the course.
