Back to Business ...


So yesterday was the first day of Second Year Studio and after going over the basics of the syllabus and being introduced to our new professors and new transfer students we spend the rest of the three hour block watching Wall-E.

What a way to start off the semester!

I for one had never seen Wall-E so I got to see it and it even correlated to what we are learning about as designers with sustainability. So here are a couple of lesson's learned from Wall-E:

-Waste Management is important.
-Alittle planning goes a long way.
-Have awareness to the world around you.
-Always explore the possibilities.
-Don't design out the experiences. (ex: Cupcake in a cup.)
-Courage is needed in order to accomplish anything.
-Have an affinity for nature.
-Sometimes you need to bend/break the rules.
-Be a good steward.
-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

These are only a few of the many things we ended up discussing at the end of Wall-E yesterday and it really set the mindset for the studio and the year. I am very excited for this semester and cannot wait to begin the first project!
