Here is a piece of furniture I designed in Illustrator and the project was to animate it in such a way that would demonstrate the function. The animation was done mostly in photoshop.

Brilliant Ted Talk . . .

Here, Ken Robinson talks about how school kills creativity, and not only do I agree with what he is saying, but he is an amazing speaker, very engaging and funny. The main point of his argument was that schools do not prepare, nor allow, children to be wrong, therefore they will never come up with anything original out of fear of being wrong. In the education system, mistakes are the worst thing you can make, yet it is through mistakes and the process that we learn but this process is killed from the beginning of school. He points out how the purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors, because they are the only ones who come out on top. It was invented for industrialism, to get people used to set scheudles, and to have the most useful subjects, like math and science, the most important. However, he also points out how we need to change this system because the world is changing, A couple decades ago, if you had a college degree you were in the higher end of society. Now, college degrees mean less and less. In order for future generations to be more successful, they need to be able to think originally, so the school systems need to change in order to allow this.
I highly suggest if your an educator you watch this…
