| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| The module develops practical and theoretical aspects of design methods, context and visualisation skills and processes relevant to Product, Ceramics and Jewellery that will typically include: Understanding and interpretation of a design brief. Student centred learning and development of personal visual (creative) language. Research and design methods. Use of concept models and prototypes. Peer to peer dialogue and experimentation. Creative and critical thinking methods. Application of materials, design technology and digital software Oral and written communication and presentation. Emphasis is placed on the appropriate use of materials and processes and the student is encouraged to discover and develop a personal response to the design problems through research, debate and experimentation. Through hands-on activities, workshops, and collaborations, students develop practical skills and technical abilities necessary for integrating sustainable problem-solving into their practice. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| These directed design projects are studio/workshop/online based and will typically be delivered through project briefing, individual and group tutorial support, interim crits or seminars and final presentation and review of work. |
