🧩 Empathy Map and Dada Concept Sprint

Find inspiration and ideas Test, act, iterate Build models, prototypes, or action plans Submission Required Grading Required

Students use a teacher-provided interview sheet and image/material prompt cards to collect quick feedback from 2 peers about one current social contradiction they want to critique. They sort notes into an empathy map with observed reactions, assumptions to test, and audience needs, then write one concise How Might We statement. Using that brief, students sketch 3 thumbnail concepts for a collage, assemblage, or surreal poster that each use a different Dada strategy such as juxtaposition, chance, absurd scale, or fragmentation; they then give feedback to 2 peers, receive feedback, and revise one concept with a visible change note.
