Bridging Gaps
Bridging Gaps is an entity, an idea to narrow the gap between the teacher and the taught, the instructor and the audience. It's about addressing issues of hands on - learning vs. textual learning, experiential learning vs. by rote learning and learning for life vs. learning for the moment. It is about hands-on empowerment and learning for life.
After finishing five years design course at NID, Ahmedabad, Ranjan De went into a career in advertising, publishing and printing. He conceptualised and illustrated books for children. Since 2003, he has been facilitating workshops on subjects as diverse as making workable musical instruments out of available urban junk, scientific toys from recycled material, nomadic furniture out of corrugated board and exploring innovative methods in multi-media puppetry as an educational tool.
Work Description
Ranjan believes that our present education system does not empower our teachers and instructors to impart education in a manner that empowers its audience, to think and induce self-learning on a large scale. Consequently, he tries to infuse the hands-on learning by sharing the vocational approach to subjects in both regular school and college curriculum. Schools today do not provide the students with applications training and so they are not market ready or even empowered enough to stand on their on feet, when they finish their respective courses. He hopes that his workshops and training programs will fill this gap.
Ranjan offers several workshops such as
- Design Oriented Workshops on basic scripting for
advertisement films, advanced scripting for
documentary and short feature films, basic story
boarding for advertising films etc
- Design and Self Exploratory Workshops on
introduction to elements of form & space,
environmental exposure and orientation - emphatic
observation skills advanced colour theory in 3-D /
colour and optical illusions etc.
- Environment and Location based Workshops on
making jewellery and ornaments out of leaves, bark,
vines; puppets and dolls out of leaves, bark, vines,
gunny bags ; bookbinding and bookmaking with
locally available material and waste paper etc
- 9 Day Workshop on Low-cost Multi-level Puppetry
as an Educational Tool
- Matchstick Architecture and Solid Geometry to Basic Furniture design
