    “students are more attuned to studying the cultures that are most relevant to today, whereas the teacher has already done most of their cultural study years ago”


    yes…students nowadays are mosre of the modern design..

    Definitely, but to clarify, it’s really more than modern design that they study, it’s more accurately modern trends that they study.


    Modern design as a philosophy is timeless… Those who study modern design are more familiar with names like Le Corbusier, Eames, Aarnio, and van der Rohe than they are of today’s design contemporaries. However, as in my original point, one must know them just as well as experience design innovators, local grafitti artists, DJs, sculptors, cartoonists, packaging designers, and what not in order to truly be educated about how to make their designs fit the culture and visual lingua franca in which they are working.
