Published by HEAD–Publishing, the book explores the significance of historical knowledge in art and design schools, and more specifically in graphic design courses.
‘Why teach graphic design students the history of graphic design?’ Clémence Imbert's Manifesto opens with this question. Using European and American examples of innovative teaching projects from the 20th and 21st centuries, Imbert questions the foundations of her own teaching practice as a graphic design his-torian at HEAD–Genève, and defends the importance of teaching the history of graphic design to art and design school students. Beyond the mere acquisition of academic skills, her teaching allows for a nurturing of the eye and sensibility of future graphic designers.
