Course Description:

Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas. In this course, graphic design is approached as an instrument to interact with the local community. Students will begin to create relationships and design solutions that make a positive impact on society. They will work with painted, drawn, photographed and/or computer-generated images in order to communicate ideas with the software they are already familiar with as an instrument to enhance their projects. Students will be challenged to expand their comprehension of design problem solving for new audiences and will develop skills in design methodology in a collaborative, process-based approach. Students will begin immediately utilizing the skills being developed for their semester long project for the local non-profit non- profit association promoting art and inter-cultural dialog and, working on helping them develop the branding materials.

Graphic Design Studio participants will work in collaboration with “Stand up for Africa”, an Italian non-profit Art Residency to help them develop their branding, materials, and website.

Graphic Design Studio participants will work in collaboration with “Stand up for Africa”, an Italian non-profit Art Residency to help them develop their branding, materials, and website.

The Project:

STAND UP FOR AFRICA 2020 CURATED BY PIETRO GAGLIANÒ

Students will work directly with the founders of Stand Up for Africa to develop branded materials as well as website.

Stand Up for Africa, arte contemporanea per i diritti umani, is an Art Residency conceived and directed by Paolo Fabiani and Rossella Del Sere, in Casentino, whose aim is to interpret through the language of art humanitarian emergencies, geopolitical crises and the fate of migrants. For its fifth edition, in September of 2020 (curated by Pietro Gaglianò) two young artists worked together with two young refugees from African countries. Matteo Coluccia and Caterina Shanta working together with Dominion Ogieva who was born in Nigeria, and Mouhamed Yaye Traore who was born in Benin. This fifth edition will be mainly online due to the Covid 19 emergency. The four young artists will explore the Casentino valley in Tuscany to seek inspiration. Through this experience they will work hard to find common ground as a means of dialogue on the theme of the family. Stand Up for Africa is a project by HYmmo Art Lab, promoted by Unione dei Comuni Montani and by Rete Ecomuseale del Casentino, supported by Regione Toscana, within the program Toscanaincontemporanea 2020, by Parco Nazionale Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna, by Municipality of Pratovecchio Stia, SIPROIMI by Unione dei Comuni Montani from Casentino and Borri spa.
