Yellow is the colour nearest to light; in its highest purity it always carries with it the nature of brightness, and has a serene, gay, softly exciting character. As yellow is always accompanied by light, so it may be said that blue still brings a principle of darkness with it. Red, in its highest degree of purity and beauty, as we see it in carmine, is beautiful, grand, dignified, gracious and attractive. Mixed with blue, red becomes violet, and by the predominance of blue, passes into indigo and then to pure blue.

Mixed with blue, red becomes violet, and by the predominance of blue, passes into indigo and then to pure blue. Red by mixture with yellow becomes orange, which by further addition of yellow passes to gold. The highest degree of light, such as that of the sun, of a white-hot substance, is dazzling and colourless, even as pure water is colourless. By opposition, darkness was considered as that which is opposed to light; the material element in which light is absorbed and extinguished. Colour lies between light and darkness. If we imagine an eye in a state of complete activity, it sees colour everywhere; if it is perfectly at rest it sees none. Colour is the pain of light. Yellow is a light which has been dampened by darkness; blue is a darkness weakened by light. Red arises at the extreme boundaries of both. Green is the result of their perfect equilibrium. All colours in their full saturation carry with them something violent, something that demands something from the eye. Yellow is the colour nearest to light; in its highest purity it always carries with it the nature of brightness, and has a serene, gay, softly exciting character.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one. The whole technical power of painting depends on our recovery of what may be called the innocence of the eye. That is to say, of a sort of childish perception of these flat stains of colour, merely as such, without consciousness of what they signify. The first great mistake that people make in the matter of art is the supposition that they must begin with a great subject. There is no such thing as a great subject. A great artist can make a great picture out of a handful of dust; a feeble artist will make a feeble picture out of the most magnificent material. Nothing is a work of art which is not useful. Taste is not only a part and an index of morality — it is the only morality. The true secret of happiness is to take a genuine interest in all the details of daily life, and to elevate them by art. A man who has the habit of accurate observation is capable of seeing beauty in things which to others are invisible. The most beautiful things in the world are the most useless — peacocks and lilies, for instance. You will never love art well till you love what she mirrors better.

The first great mistake that people make in the matter of art is the supposition that they must begin with a great subject. There is no such thing as a great subject. A great artist can make a great picture out of a handful of dust; a feeble artist will make a feeble picture out of the most magnificent material. Nothing is a work of art which is not useful. Taste is not only a part and an index of morality — it is the only morality. The true secret of happiness is to take a genuine interest in all the details of daily life, and to elevate them by art. A man who has the habit of accurate observation is capable of seeing beauty in things which to others are invisible. The most beautiful things in the world are the most useless — peacocks and lilies, for instance. You will never love art well till you love what she mirrors better. The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one.

About the program
Design thinking in practice — AI-enhanced tools
EmpathizeTalk to the people who will actually use the thing — then let AI help you find the patterns
DefineFigure out what the problem actually is, not what everyone assumes it is
IdeateGenerate more options than feel comfortable, then kill most of them
PrototypeBuild something fast enough to be wrong — AI tools make that faster
TestPut it in front of someone and defend every choice like your budget depends on it
Small cohort. Real practitioner. AI-enhanced tools. Knowledge you built yourself.
This is what design thinking looks like when there is a deadline, a stakeholder who does not speak design, and a decision that has to ship — the same process Stanford’s d.school made famous and Jake Knapp codified at Google Ventures, applied to your own project brief, for DECA or IB, with the AI tools practitioners now use natively.
User interviews, journey mapping, competitive analysis — the methods behind professional product design are exactly what separate a strong competition entry from a forgettable one. The methodology is well established — applying it when the room is not on your side is where the practice comes in. Catena teaches that.
Every work of art is the child of its time; often it is the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own, which can never be repeated. Colour is a power which directly influences the soul. Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul. Yellow is a typically earthly colour. Blue is the typical heavenly colour. It opens up profound depths and invites a man to look into the infinite. White strikes our psyche as a great silence — absolute. Red glows within itself — mature power which cannot be easily conquered by any other colour. Every work of art is the child of its time. Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.

The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul. Yellow is a typically earthly colour. Blue is the typical heavenly colour. It opens up profound depths and invites a man to look into the infinite. White strikes our psyche as a great silence — absolute. Red glows within itself — mature power which cannot be easily conquered by any other colour. Every work of art is the child of its time. Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.

For IB Students
Designed around the IB
When the process is real, the portfolio takes care of itself.
Maps directly onto MYP Design criteria A through D — and gives DP students the same professional process for IAs and EEs. Design as professional practice with current tools, building on what the classroom establishes. Students also learn responsible, documented AI use inside a design process — the kind of judgment that matters once they enter their professional lives.
Crit.What IB asksWhat Catena does
AResearch a design problem from secondary sourcesPrimary research with real users — AI-assisted synthesis
BGenerate and develop ideas to a specificationStructured ideation with AI-expanded range before narrowing
CBuild a solution that meets the specificationPrototype and iterate with AI-accelerated tooling
DReflect on whether the specification was metLive practitioner critique — defend your decisions, not your prompts
I have nothing to say to you about art but what I know, and what I have got by heart through living with it and by it all my life. I mean by art the expression by man of his pleasure in labour. I do not believe he can be happy in his labour without expressing that happiness. Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life and in elevating them by art. I want all people to appreciate beauty. I want the simplest worker to be able to look at the things he uses in his daily work and know that they are good, that they are beautiful. I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. Every man who creates anything, however small, is performing a creative act. The pleasure of making is not separate from the thing made. We must be allowed to take pleasure in our work; otherwise we are slaves, no matter how fine the commodity we produce. When it ceases to express the life of the people, it becomes a dead thing — a museum curiosity — however magnificent its outward form.

I have nothing to say to you about art but what I know, and what I have got by heart through living with it and by it all my life. I mean by art the expression by man of his pleasure in labour. I do not believe he can be happy in his labour without expressing that happiness. Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life and in elevating them by art. I want all people to appreciate beauty. I want the simplest worker to be able to look at the things he uses in his daily work and know that they are good, that they are beautiful. I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. Every man who creates anything, however small, is performing a creative act.

Ontario at ICDC 2026: 91 of 620 ranked finals placements, 12 first-place finishes, and a finals presence in 44 of 62 events. Counted from DECA’s official ICDC 2026 Consolidated Winners.
In 2025–26, DECA replaced the written paper with a 20-slide pitch deck. For 2026–27, the presentation is now worth 50% of the score — equal to the written entry. Most chapter prep still focuses on the written side. The students whose decks make the argument for them are the ones the judge remembers.
We are seeking to understand what architecture is, not what it has been. In every age the mind has had its architecture, the expression of its beliefs, manners, and customs. All the great periods of architecture have been periods in which the architect knew what he was doing and why. Method is everything; for it is the result of observation and experience combined with reason. In all work whatever, there is a natural logic; the form ought to express the function. To build is to employ the means furnished by nature to make the products of nature serve the needs of man. Nothing is durable that is not logical; nothing is lasting that does not obey the laws of nature. Form and structure are one and the same thing; to separate them is to introduce a contradiction into art. Ornament must not be an addition to structure; it must be structure itself rendered visible and beautiful. There is but one architecture, as there is but one truth. There is only one way of building well; and that way has always to be rediscovered, never invented. Good design begins with understanding what is to be built and why.

To build is to employ the means furnished by nature to make the products of nature serve the needs of man. Nothing is durable that is not logical; nothing is lasting that does not obey the laws of nature. Form and structure are one and the same thing; to separate them is to introduce a contradiction into art. Ornament must not be an addition to structure; it must be structure itself rendered visible and beautiful. There is but one architecture, as there is but one truth. There is only one way of building well; and that way has always to be rediscovered, never invented. Good design begins with understanding what is to be built and why. We are seeking to understand what architecture is, not what it has been. In every age the mind has had its architecture, the expression of its beliefs, manners, and customs.

The Format
How it works
Sessions4 teaching + 1 critique
FormatFlexible scheduling
Cohort4–6 students
StartingFall 2026
Show up. Work the problem. Leave with knowledge you built yourself.
1Frame
Arrive with your own project brief and your assumptions, and leave with a brief grounded in real user research. AI helps you synthesize interview data and spot patterns faster than you could alone — so you spend the session on insight, not transcription.
2Ideate
Generate a hundred ideas before narrowing to one. AI-expanded divergent thinking pushes past the obvious, then you make a real decision about what to pursue and why.
3Build
The idea becomes something real — structure, visual hierarchy, and the logic of how information moves through a deck. AI-accelerated prototyping lets you iterate on layout and content in the same session.
4Refine
Every slide earns its place, every word is there for a reason. AI helps you stress-test narrative flow and visual clarity before the room does it for you.
5Critique
Present to the cohort and defend every decision in front of a practitioner. Not a showcase — a working critique, the same way a design studio runs.
The development of art is determined not by the technical means and materials available to the craftsman, but by the dominant artistic will of the epoch. Technical mastery alone does not suffice; the craftsman must be guided by a purposive artistic will before the material can be formed into a work of art. Every ornamental motif, no matter how abstract, has developed out of a natural model by a process of stylisation. Nothing arises out of nothing in the history of art; every new form is a transformation of an earlier form. The arabesque is in reality derived from the acanthus leaf, which was itself derived from earlier plant forms. The purpose of decoration is not merely to adorn but to articulate structure, to make visible the inner logic of form. We must learn to read ornament as we read a text — not letter by letter but as a whole. The ornament of a people is the index of their civilisation. It cannot lie; it cannot be counterfeited for long. It is the most honest thing a culture makes. When ornament truly serves this purpose, decoration and construction are inseparable.

Vladimir has spent twenty years as a designer, from e-commerce at Simply Audiobooks in 2006 to large-scale government systems at the Ontario Ministry of Health, global advertising at Saatchi & Saatchi, eight years leading creative at George Media, and seven years as Senior Product Designer at Audiobooks.com, where he led design across a subscription platform on iOS, Android, and web. A graduate of George Brown’s Design Management program, he was later invited back as a thesis judge, evaluating graduating design students’ work across multiple years.
He has led design teams, championed design thinking in boardrooms that didn’t always see the point, and built design practice from scratch in organizations where it didn’t exist — without losing the love of the work that brought him there. Catena is built on that premise: professional methods, applied early, with a practitioner in the room.
The basis of all composition is that there is a fitness of purpose — that form follows function — that every ornament must in itself be fitted to the particular purpose for which it has been designed. True beauty is that perfect harmony which exists between the expression of the artistic idea and the form through which it is expressed. Colour is to decoration what grammar is to speech. The laws of colour harmony are as definite and absolute as those of musical harmony, and like music, their secret is in ratio and proportion, not in fixed quantities. Every combination of colour must tend to an equilibrium or neutral grey. Colour is light; and light is life; and life has beauty of its own which seeks expression through colour. No great work was ever produced hastily; the greatest designers have always been the most careful. The instinct of ornamentation is natural to man; it manifests itself in the earliest stages of civilization. Its development runs parallel to the development of the human mind. When ornament is properly employed it heightens our enjoyment of form; when misapplied it destroys it. True ornament never conceals — it reveals. It makes the logic of structure visible and beautiful.
