My thoughts are with the delightful staff and students in the School of Art and Design at the Hubei University of Technology during the current quarantine of Wuhan.
These two wonderful people were a great help in assisting and interpreting!
During Spring of 2019 I had the pleasure to spend three weeks engaged in a program of academic communication at the university.
Sixty students were enrolled in a course focused on using patterns in poster design. This cohort was broken into two classes of 30 each.
Working in small groups of five, each team chose a theme and color scheme for their "ad campaign."
Every student created two patterns for possible inclusion in a finished poster.
The beautiful pattern below was designed by one of the students using an ogee network.
Each individual in the team was assigned a different strategy for using pattern in a poster of their own.
The teams presented "campaigns" unified by a common theme and color scheme.
The group of young men above selected a museum exhibition of blue and white porcelain as their subject and all produced very successful designs!
Children's Festival was the topic for this team,
and another group chose Dragon Boat Festival.
To celebrate the completion of their work, an exhibition was installed in the large gallery space.
Group photos were taken as both classes (of 30 each) posed on the grand staircase in the art building to commemorate the experience.
I am hopeful that I will return to Wuhan again this year and am praying that all these friends stay well.
