The Art of Critical Making [PDF ebook] 
Rhode Island School of Design on Creative Practice

Describes the world’s leading approach to art and design
taught at Rhode Island School of Design
At Rhode Island School of Design students are immersed in a
culture where making questions, ideas, and objects, using and
inventing materials, and activating experience all serve to define
a form of critical thinking–albeit with one’s
hands–i.e. ‘critical making.’ The Art of Critical
Making, by RISD faculty and staff, describes fundamental
aspects of RISD’s approach to ‘critical making’ and how this can
lead to innovation. The process of making taught at RISD is deeply
introspective, passionate, and often provocative.
This book illuminates how RISD nurtures the creative process,
from brief or prompt to outcome, along with guidance on the
critical questions and research that enable making great works of
art and design.
* Explores the conceptual process, idea research, critical
questions, and iteration that RISD faculty employ to educate
students to generate thoughtful work
* Authors are from the faculty and staff of the Rhode Island
School of Design, which consistently ranks as the number one fine
arts and design college in the United States
The Art of Critical Making shows you how context,
materials, thought processes, and self-evaluation are applied in
this educational environment to prepare creative individuals to
produce dynamic, memorable, and meaningful works.
