This class introduces the foundational texts that have shaped the field of design since the late 19th century, and theoretical texts by artists who address design in their works. Presentations focus on three-dimensional objects created for the mass market or interior design projects. Students must also design an object that is intended for mass production or interior decor.

Smith, Natalie
This toy functions twice in the home as a whimsical, modern sculpture and as a toy that provides hours of interactive, educational play for children of all ages. Made of semi-translucent off-white bioplastic, the Enchanted Mushroom contains thousands of battery-powered multicolored LEDS. Lights can be programmed with a remote control to change color of the 18" tall 'shroom or play a peaceful slideshow of transitioning colored light. When in 'toy mode', The Enchanted Mushroom's functions as a memory game, with settings for all ages. Its spots function as buttons that perform random patterns for a player to repeat (Inspired by famed Studio 54 Milton Bradley game, Simon) The Enchanted Mushroom retails for around $160 and will be marketed to design-conscious consumers (with and without children) who are looking for educational, interactive toys that dont destroy their home's modern aesthetic!
