Aims
This module aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop and advance Design and Making skills acquired at Level 4, applying them in relation to new subject areas and briefs.
Students will select a project that allows them to refine their making skills and hone design practice in relation to their interests and vocational ambitions.
Each project will be specifically designed for the dynamics of the cohort and will support the teaching of advanced making skills, encourage experimentation, and introduce new modes of working. The project will be co-created with the students.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Examine, select and employ specialised production processes effectively in a performance context, or in the preparation for performance or a presentation.
2.
Create a design or system of work from an initial idea or brief, and finesse to finished product with guidance.
3.
Develop research skills, synthesising and organising results, and evaluate and record the significance of the material in practice.
4.
Develop a repertoire of interpretative skills, practices and making techniques and apply them effectively to engage with a final presentation/performance.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module will extend the range of skills taught at Level 4 and allow a degree of specialisation and experimentation within areas chosen by each student, as appropriate to their personal career choices.
The content of each project will vary to suit the groups dynamics or the needs of the individual, but will allow for at least one area of specialist study in the following:
The module will help develop a greater understanding of the current professional context of these specialist areas of production and provide an opportunity to apply them in a practical design-led project.
A series of practical workshops with core teaching staff and visiting professionals will support the development of advanced technical skills. Alongside these making and design skills, the module will embrace devising and direction.
Students will further develop reflective working practices and analytical skills through synthesis and experimentation.
