Description/Abstract:

Interdisciplinary art and design education emerged with the idealism of the 1960's and has come in and out favour ever since. There are various reasons for its emergence and refusal to go away, but one must be the deskilling and reskilling in the practice of a range of disciplines (Roberts, 2007). Whereas disciplines used to be defined by the materials and making skills embedded in them, they are now practiced and learned through more generic skills such as idea generation, problem solving and critical thinking.
