"Tom Hudson began his career as an artist and educator in Britian where, together with Victor Pasmore and Harry Thurbron, he developed the initial Basic and Foundation Courses. His experimental and innivative ideas had a very considerable effect on upon Art and Design Education. Sir Herbert Read, when opening the 'Visual Adventure' in New York in 1964, said of Tom Hudson's Contribution "he has done more than anyone else to change and develop Art Education in Britian'.
Formerly Director of Studies at Cardiff College of Art and Design, Tom Hudson was appointed Dean of Instruction at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in British Columbia and has worked internationally, including consultancy positions and lecture tours in Europe, Canada, USA, Brazil, Turkey and Japan. He served as consultant to UNESCO in Paris and to the City of Brasilia.
Numerous writings have been published internationally, copies of which are accessable in the National Archives of Art and Design Education at Bretton Hall.
Having 'retired' recently from the Emily Carr Institute his most recent achievements include television series and distance learning courses, all award winning." From: http://174.6.73.82/tom/tomhudson.html
