<P class=MsoNormal>Vienna: Art & Design exhibition<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I encourage all D&T teachers to go to this fantastic
exhibition at the Victorian National Gallery. I went to the best PD I have
been to in years today at the Gallery – and if it is run again every D&T
teacher out there should rush to get in. We had a fantastic informative
talk about the turn of the century (1900) design and art work in Vienna and
Germany, viewed the exhibition (had a fabulous lunch that was an art piece in
itself) and then a tour of the permanent chair collection. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There are a couple of classic chairs in the Vienna exhibition
that I never thought I would be lucky enough to see in Australia, the silver
ware is stunning, the patterned wall paper designs gorgeous and of course the
Klimt’s are breath takingly beautiful. From there go on to the either the
special exhibition on men’s fashion (Man style) or the permanent chair
collection and marvel again at those classics – the “Globe”, “Up” or the
beautiful shape of that cantilevered Panton - Peacock or S chair.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>With the new study design - Product Design and Technology
being introduced next year it is perfect timing to take year 11s to this
exhibition - being able to understand and research a period in history
that interests them or inspires their designs will be critical next year.
Textiles students generally do this well but Wood/metal students … not so
well. Give your year 11’s a head start for 2012 and take them but most of
all give yourselves a treat and go to this fabulous exhibition.<o:p></o:p></P>
