SUMMARY:Lecture: Cas Holman
DESCRIPTION:Easy is Boring: Cas will present a few projects that exemplify 
 her design philosophy and share insights from her voyage since arriving at
  Cranbrook.\n\nCas Holman has spent the last 15 years immersed in play\, e
 ducation and imagination. Her philosophy and approach to designing for pla
 y was recently featured in the award-winning documentary series “Abstrac
 t: The Art of Design” on Netflix. Through her company Heroes Will Rise\,
  she designs and manufactures tools for the imagination. These materials a
 re manipulable parts and pieces which inspire constructive play\, imaginat
 ive forms\, and cooperative interactions between people. Open-ended in the
 ir identity\, these tools/toys inspire children and adults to imagine the 
 origin and story of the toy as well as how to use it.\n\nShe graduated fro
 m Cranbrook in 2005 and is now an Associate Professor at the Rhode Island 
 School of Design (RISD) and prototypes her playthings on five acres known 
 as Camp Fun. Cas travels the globe to collaborate with thought and industr
 y leaders in early education\, curriculum design\, public space and childh
 ood advocacy. Some recent inspiring brave collaborators and clients includ
 e Cheng Xueqin\, founder of Anji Play (Anji\, China)\, Friends of the High
  Line (NYC)\, the 14th St Y Preschool and Jewish Community Center (NYC)\, 
 and Lego Education (DK).\n\nSponsored by the 3D Design Department at Cranb
 rook Academy of Art.
