About
PATD students Courtney Sung '10, Jonathan Sue-Ho '09, and Shan Wang '11 (left to right) with Student and AiR Program Coordinator Madeleine Sheldon-Dante '07 (second from right) during PATD 2008
The aim of Promoting the Arts Through Design (PATD) is to involve undergraduates in the local art community by nurturing their skills in design to support an arts organization. The students meet with the client's staff to discuss what the organization needs for design in terms of materials, publications, and media. During the seminar meetings, the instructor and guest lecturers will teach the students about dealing with clients and multimedia design. At the end of the semester, the students will present present their finished product to the client and to relevant MIT affiliates.
