| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Formulate a conceptual, critical and analytical framework that informs the realisation of a self-directed, managed programme of creative investigation. |
| 2 | Review a range of research methods, including relevant theories, concepts, materials, processes and technologies to inform the development of personal creative practice within a fashion and/or textile design context. |
| 3 | Demonstrate increasing technical control and working knowledge of specialise materials, processes and technologies as determined by developing personal ideas and intentions. |
| 4 | Demonstrate an understanding of creative design methods, processes, practices and techniques within a wider professional context. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| This module centres on supporting students' independence through a period of self-directed study across both studio and workshops. It provides an exploratory framework for the student to identify and formulate their aptitude in design methods, processes, materials and technologies appropriate to their individual direction; and to further develop assess critical, organisational and project management skills through self-evaluation and reflection. Emphasis is placed on the formulation of a personal approach and design methodology through interpretation of project briefs. Underpinned by Critical and Contextual Studies, the module also requires the student to conduct focused research into theories, concepts and professional contexts that inform their personal direction within the wider Creative Industries. Students actively test and explain the sustainable impact of their practice through participation in a range of public facing initiatives and within professional settings e.g. community, professional agencies and arts organisations. This studio-based module is undertaken in partnership with AA3309 Work Experience module (15 credits). |
| Module Delivery |
