WEEK5_ DAY6
Design 101 is a multicultural learning experience. We have people from around the world sharing all sorts of things. One month! I think that's still early to evaluate the impact this course will have on us. I get excited by knowledge itself, sometimes it's simple things, but amazing things, that I just don't know. Honestly, it's almost like a drug! It's strange and funny at the same time. I wasn't like this when I attended University.
One thing I know. We can learn everywhere. Not just at University. But sometimes it's easy when we get some help. From family, from teachers, from peers, from work colleagues, from friends. We don't have all the time in the world. I don't know much about Design so I really apreciate this map Design101 is providing. I feel like my navigation is safer and quicker. Well, enough bla-bla-bla! Thank you, instructors and students. You are making a difference.

Happy 24hour video: “The song itself is four minutes long and repeated on a loop for the video. By the end, Pharrell has exhorted the viewer to “clap along” 8,640 times”.

5. INSPIRATION
Polymath - is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas; such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. The term was first used in the seventeenth century but the related term, polyhistor, is an ancient term with similar meaning.

"This is contemporary design. To be able to mix, to do one thing in an excellent way and then to work on other fields. The tensions and the relations between the different fields make the interesting design." From the Course Letter
Andy Warhol was doing a lot of different things also:
Velvet Underground's Warhol documentary
He directed Chelsea Girls movie
He was mostly a visual designer
