●○● International Design Masters Lectures Series: Taichung ●○●
|
Prof. Shashank Mehta, the representative of India Design Council, was the opening speaker of the Taichung session. He described and shared about the source of design and concepts associated with Indian daily living. The subject matter was easy to understand, and his narrative approach was also easy to understand. This allowed students to easily understand the basics of design. The national treasurable master of Japan, Prof. Okamoto Shigeo, used his works as the subject of his lecture. The content was rich, and his speaking style was humorous and lively. He led the students into his own realm of creation. Students also came to realize that excellent works would never be eliminated by the change of eras. Next, although the mother tongue of the representative of the Brno Biennale Association in the Czech Republic, Prof. Andrej Hascak, is Slovak, he put a lot of effort in delivering his speech. He also shared with the teachers of his precious experience he had with his students. His interactions with the participated teachers and students were full of enthusiasm. The grand finale was the CEO of an animation company from South Africa, Mr. Stuart Forrest, who discussed the process and difficulties of animation production from the commercial and noncommercial perspectives. He offered the students a kind of thinking that was different from the kind learned from the
academic field. In addition, he explained to students about the pros and cons of the online animation industry. The students were greatly benefited from his lecture.
