Module Indicative Content
You are expected to consolidate the knowledge and experience gained during earlier modules, refining working methods and adopting a professional, competitive attitude. You will be introduced to additional workshop skills, including both general Surface Pattern studio and Surface Decoration workshop Health and Safety training.
You will develop an increased level of awareness and analysis as evidenced in previous modules, but now in relation to your own self negotiated projects, being aware of the direction your work is taking. You will continue to carry out research, generate new ideas and solve problems - all of which must be intellectually challenging and demanding. It is expected that your programme of study will be underpinned by a strong drawing core, where the investigation of personal ideas through analytical and observational drawing is essential.
You will be encouraged to continually review and evaluate your progress, being able to respond to, as well as initiate ideas, and be specific about concepts as opposed to specific outcomes at this stage.
You will devise a personal programme of study, which is then approved following discussions between yourself and your project supervisor. The programme will result in a substantial body of work representing 300 hours of your input and involving at least one design project.
The focus of this module will be on research and presentation, planning and scheduling and includes a major element of integrated PDP.
