The Art of Critical Making: Rhode Island School of Design on Creative Practice

Insight into RISD's renowned critical making philosophy.

If you're seeking a glimpse into the creative crucible that is the Rhode Island School of Design, this book is a portal to that world. As you flip through its pages, you'll engage with the foundational processes that have established RISD as a powerhouse of art and design education—where ideas take form through rigorous questioning and material experimentation. 'The Art of Critical Making' is more than a read; it’s a journey into the minds of those who teach the art of thoughtful creation.

Description

This book describes Rhode Island School of Design's approach to critical making—an educational practice that blends making with thinking to question ideas, materials, and outcomes. Written by RISD faculty and staff, it outlines fundamental aspects of RISD's approach to critical making and how this can lead to innovation. The process taught at RISD is introspective, passionate, and provocative, and the book explains how context, materials, thought processes, and self-evaluation are applied from brief to outcome to help creative individuals produce meaningful works of art and design.
