Show moreThe House of I. Ideology and Theory in the Netherlands' Design Education is based on the hypothesis that Dutch Art Academies, which since the emergence of (applied) art education have focused expressly on training the professional artist type - in stead of a focus on the dependent artist type (the artisan) or the distanced artist type (the bohemien) - have used and/or developed forms of theory that are relevant for the current and future design education. The hypothesis is examined for Dutch art schools of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Breda, The Hague, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Rotterdam and Utrecht between 1921 and the present. Where relevant, information about the academies of Den Bosch, Enschede, Groningen and Tilburg has been added. The tree artist types and the various forms of theory are examined in the boardrooms of the art school and in the classrooms and workplaces for education in graphic, product and fashion design.
