Module Indicative Content
This module will familiarise you with the processes involved in realising an artwork for a particular site/location. You will visit the site/location and develop the project through visual and written documentation in the form of a proposal. Ideas will be tested and presented through maquettes, drawings, VR proposals or other appropriate methods. The culmination of this process is for you to realise the project on site.
