| Course description | THIS IS A FOR-CREDIT COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED.
This course is particularly suitable for those who have been keeping a sketchbook for visual research and would like the opportunity to discover new potential within their work by exploring alternative ways of developing ideas and enriching personal direction for designing, making and constructing art and design works. Through the exploration and manipulation of a range of two and three dimensional techniques, the course will give students the opportunity to experiment with materials and processes. Using texture, colour, paper engineering, assemblage and collage students will create a series of developed studies, design samples and maquettes as the basis for innovative art and design objects. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, through attending classes and engaging in directed and independent study, students should be able to:
RESEARCH
provide a basis for exploration and idea generation through drawing and observation
PRACTICE
explore potential of preliminary studies resulting in developed 2 and 3D proposals
PRESENT
present a body of work to the group and separately for |
Assessment Information
This course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual design works within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved design works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. Typically, this will comprise:
- Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work undertaken during the class)
- Directed hours: 27.5 (work the tutor has set students to each week in their own time)
- Independent Study Hours: 45 (work students set themselves to do, relevant to the discipline studied)
The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
