Let's Define Artistry!
Artistry is:
- When learning designers craft cohesive, compelling experiences
- When learning designers value the human experience of a design
- When learning designers use storytelling to guide the use of design elements
Artistry is not:
- When the aesthetic design of a learning experience doesn’t match or enhance the content
- When a learning experience feels soulless
- When there isn’t a throughline that helps guide the learner through the experience
Why is artistry important?
- It may seem obvious, but if a learning experience isn’t enjoyable or fun, learners won’t be as motivated to learn
- Making an experience beautiful helps to gain and hold learners’ attention
- Providing a visual, auditory, or multi-sensory experience that matches and emphasizes the ideas being presented helps to draw learners in
My approach to artistry
- As when designing theatre productions, I will approach designing learning experiences from both an artistic and pragmatic perspective.
- I will design intriguing, beautiful, joyful experiences that illustrate the concepts covered in the learning experiences.
