sex, one of the most basic human acts and instincts, is a main topic of exploration for many talented people in the creation of artwork. this course is not about hardcore pornography. it’s about the way we portray sex, through our creative process. lessons feature thought provoking essays and inspiring examples from art, to photography, to graphic- and industrial design. - what is it that attracts us to objects? - why is sex used in advertising? - can the way a room is designed turn a chance meeting into a long lasting relationship? - what's behind the shift in social acceptance of sex? - who created the first sex shops? so why not join this never-seen-before class, stretch your design muscles and discover that sex and design are not so far apart at all.
