Inge Druckrey: Teaching to See

A documentary you should watch to know about the intricacies of art and design and the challenges artists/designers face.

“This [film] is about patient and dedicated teaching, about learning to look and visualize in order to design, about the importance of drawing. It is one designer’s personal experience of issues that face all designers, expressed with sympathy and encouragement, and illustrated with examples of Inge [Druckrey]’s own work and that of grateful generations of her students. There are simple phrases that give insights into complex matters, for example that letterforms are ‘memories of motion.’ Above all, it is characteristic of Inge that in this examination of basic principles the word “beautiful” is used several times.”

- Matthew Carter, type designer, MacArthur Fellow

“This film is absolutely beautiful. I'm so impressed with it and learned so much in such a compact piece. I feel like it picked up where Helvetica left off with the subtle principles of typographical balance and some early history stemming from the human hand. Your wonderful teaching approach comes through loud and clear and stands as an inspiration and model for others including myself. This is fantastic.”

- Luke Geissbuhler, Cinematographer of Helvetica and other films

"A great documentation of the visual values we hold dear."

- Roger Remington, Vignelli Distinguished Professor of Design, RIT

"A fine, insightful and educational documentary. It captures Inge’s work as a designer and educator, her thinking and her SEEING, in a wonderful and most perfect way. Truly Inspirational!"

- Hans-Ulrich Allemann, Designer/Educator

A message of support from our Associate Producer

We recently received a lovely message from our Associate Producer, Constance Brinkley (who pledged over £1,500 through Kickstarter) and thought we'd share it with you. Here's just one of the many reasons people are supporting Paa Joe & The Lion, and we could couldn't be happier about it!

If you'd like to do the same you only have a few days left to get involved. Head to Kickstarter to find out more now.

"I have a love of West Africa and the artists that live in these countries. My brother and his family lived in West Africa for about 10 years on two different occasions and two different countries.

I visited him for 35 days when he lived in Dapaong, Togo and 14 days when he lived in Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire. I have such respect for the people who make their living through art and creativity. I have collected some of the most beautiful work on my visits. I have seen fantasy coffins and admired the work that went into them. I also am a photographer and have done some film work, so when I saw this project it was a "marriage made in heaven" art and a documentary.

I want to help preserve this craft and supporting this project brings awareness to the creativity of the great carpenters of Ghana and their gift of teaching others to carry on with this tradition. Paa Joe's craft needs to continue as an integral part of the local funeral culture and as a craft of creative art. I feel compelled to help you make this happen. Preservation through documentary awareness. Great project. When this is completed, and I know it will happen, I will be making a trip to England to hopefully meet you and the team and see the outcome of my investment. Best wishes to you! Constance"

Our huge thanks to Constance for becoming our Associate Producer and for these beautiful, inspiring words.
