  Visual Communication Institute / The Basel School of Design

  The Basel School of Design and its students have influenced the international Graphic Design community since the 1960's. Under the direction of Armin Hofmann and Emil Ruder courses for Graphic Design and Typography were developed. They were outstanding models for a modernist design education.

  Visual and Performing Arts

  Clark's Department of Visual and Performing Arts is composed of five individual programs

  each with its own distinct curriculum and faculty: ART HISTORY \" MUSIC \" STUDIO ART \" SCREEN STUDIES \" THEATER ARTS \" Studying and creating art in Clark's liberal arts environment will provide you with many rich opportunities for the exchange of ideas

  and the option to combine and inform your art studies with related disciplines in the humanities

  social sciences and natural sciences.

  The Poetic Dimension: Reading Words and Reading Images

  As society shifts from text to image-based media

  cultivating meaningful relationships between the audience and the visual representation of content is a critical and challenging task. For graphic designers

  the ability to combine words and images is powerful as they have control over both verbal and visual authorship. This paper focuses on reconsidering the conventional patterns of reading words and images in an effort to define the “poetic dimension” where the dialogue between words and images generates a more multi-dimensional encounter with the concepts behind them. In today’s image-saturated society

  it is easy for the viewer to loose sensitivity to content delivered in a visual form

  and therefore it is designer’s task to restore it. This study identifies different relationships between words and images through looking at examples of graphic design

  haiku poetry

  haiga art

  and expressive typography. Discussed here are the varying ways in which these works open poetic dimensions and facilitate a more active role in the reader’s creation of meaning. Unlocking the poetic potential in visual communication helps graphic designers to neutralize the bombardment of visual information that is unimaginative and uninteresting in visual culture today.

  The Poetic Dimension: Reading Words and Reading Images

  This paper shares an exploratory and inquiry-based graphic design project and the resultant pedagogic approach that offers arts and design educators ideas on teaching to instigate positive social change. The author summarizes a year-long fellowship project where he worked as a change agent in service to a partnership of six non-profit

  after-school arts programs in Providence

  Rhode Island who are organized as the Providence Youth Arts Collaborative (PYAC). \nThe intention of this project was two-fold. The primary effort was to investigate ways graphic design can be strategically used to seed interest and empower youth to make positive choices with how they spend their time after school

  such as enrolling in a free PYAC member Arts program. The second aspect was to use design to strengthen the visual identity of PYAC in order to unify their voices and improve their offerings. \nThe design process and the visual outputs are presented as a model for teaching at high school and college levels that cultivate awareness of the social power of visual communication and a civically engaged process. Systems thinking and theoretical models of social change are discussed in support of the project intentions.

  Designing Social Change: Inquiry-Based Teaching in Graphic Design

  For the 2012–2013 academic year I worked together with a Bridgewater State University student and a Providence teen to help the Providence Youth Arts Collaborative (PYAC) increase their visibility and attract more youth to their free after-school arts programs. The PYAC is a group of non-profit arts organizations that share a community driven philosophy and use art to empower youth. Together they provide free arts education to over 1

  600 youth each year.\n\nThis project was made possible with generous support the Bridgewater State University’s Presidential Fellowship and the very supportive people at the PYAC.
