Abstract:
This OER project supports the survey course HIST 7012 Contemporary Design: Origins and Issues, which is delivered to third-year students in the Bachelor of Interior Design Degree Program offered through Fanshawe College in London Ontario Canada. The role of the course is to encourage interior design students to contemplate, discuss, and engage with the history of art and design, and visual and material culture from the period following the Enlightenment to our present moment. Many of the chapters include suggested readings found in most academic libraries. The format of the course will include assigned readings and/or videos and others of choice, in some parts the student can choose their own reading as per the topic or subject of the module.
