Hi Rosi,
Thank you for commenting on my posts. I agree that there are almost too many possibilties. I think that being new at this "on-line" environment, I better take it slow and follow one simple step at a time.
Have you given any thought to what class you might establish for week #7? I'm working on 2 or 3 ideas:
Basic Math for Artists...NOT Calculations, rather Quantitative Reasoning. Thinking and solving problems with simple numbers and basic physical principals...surfaces, volume, ratios, percentages.....that kind of thing.
Primer on Regulated Products....NOT learning the actual laws, rather, informing designers that the US regulates so many product categories and that designers should be "aware" that the products they are designing could be subject to regulations. Regulated categories relative to our students are toys, leisure products, apparel, housewares and many consumer goods.
Basic Plastic Properties and Processes for designers....NOT engineering level, just the basics about what plastics and manufacturing processes are appropriate for certain applications
I followed a link and visited your website...VERY NICE! Not being an "artist" myself...I have not created a website. Maybe I could make a website and instead of posting artistic images I can post examples of my brand of design work: like for mechanical solutions, exploded sketches of toys, product safety regulations, etc..
