Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts

The MYP 4 students had an exciting art outing last Friday afternoon. They took the bus to Lausanne and spent a bit of free time in the city center and then visited the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC) mudac.ch. The guide gave a wonderful presentation about the sneaker and how sport shoes have collaborated with designers, performers and artists to become an essential part of the fashion and design industry. Needless to say students were at times speechless when their favorite sneaker was the subject and on display in an art museum! The visit is part of their unit on streetwear. Their goal is to make proposals to present to their favorite brands. The students will personally design a collection that is eco friendly or socially responsible. Some exciting ideas are already well underway!
