Today, we watched the second episode of Abstract: The Art of Design.  This episode tells the story of footwear designer, Tinker Hatfield's, experience with designing Air Jordans.  After viewing, we had a collaborative conversation based on these guiding questions:

• What does Tinker's design process look like?
• Where does Tinker draw inspiration from?
• What are some of Tinker's design goals?
• How does Tinker conduct research for his designs?
• How does Tinker use empathy in his design work?
• What challenges does Tinker face in his design work?
• How does Tinker encounter failure?  Success?

We wrote down evidence of what we said during discussion for assessment purposes:

Afterward, we began work on our empathy stories--remember, those are due next Friday!
