The independent proposition given by RISD a few years ago has always been a real "proposition composition", giving keywords and topic entry points, and students can use this hint to divergent thinking and create.
2016 - construct, light, contain
2017 - plastic, collect, threshold
2018 - error, verify, forge
From 2016 to 2018, basically RISD assignment is in the form of the topic point given by the school, based on which students can carry out creative thinking divergence and further create. Although the theme keywords are changed every year, the specific routine remains unchanged.
Independent proposition of RISD in 2020:
Begin by observing a phenomenon or choosing an object in the natural world.Create a visual reaction to this object or phenomenon.You may use any medium and work at any scale.
make a transformation to or modification of your first response.We encourage you to impose no limits to the potential nature or scale of the alteration to your first solution.
This time, the independent proposition should begin with "observing a phenomenon" or "something in the world of natural things"; When you select an observation object, the next thing you need to do is to show it in a visual form; In the process of creation, you can use any media and creative materials, and there is no limit to the scale and form.
Then, use another form of artistic expression to "transform" or "modify" one of your works; Based on the second project of the first project, RISD hopes that students can fully demonstrate their potential without any restrictions.
