Modules |
|
Creative Writing modules plus the Visual Design course: Year 1 of the programme is aimed at developing the depth and range of students’ visual literacy and their understanding of various techniques and processes. They work in a range of two and three-dimensional media, learning how to express feelings, or convey specific meanings through a wide selection of materials and methods. Students are introduced to key issues in festival and exhibition management and have the opportunity to develop skills in design and planning. They also learn how to use different Apple Mac programmes to process and manipulate photography, film and printmaking. Year 2 is the year where they start to negotiate their studies according to their strengths and interests. They might choose to specialise in one area, or continue to work across a number of disciplines (i.e. Design and Fine Art). The final year of our degree course has a very different flavour and is almost entirely self-directed (with strong tutorial support) according to students’ interests and specialist direction. By this time, they have a very clear idea of what genuinely interests them as a practising artist, or in the Arts industry. The year culminates in a final major assessment in the form of a public exhibition. (Plus creative writing module options).
