Course description |
During this Semester 2 course of 11 weeks students will plan, develop and make their first major individual practice based creative project for the ICP programme. Although this does not require the use of computing and multimedia systems it is likely, due to the role of ICT in disciplinary convergence, that their project will employ core use of such technology. The project will function as a focus for the student to creatively and critically engage one or more themes introduced during the Interdisciplinary Creative Practices courses and issues addressed in their second semester essay. The course will be studio based and involve weekly crit' group meetings with discussion focusing on the conceptual, formal and technical development of each project. Support will be offered for students to gain relevant technical skills, where applicable. The student's initial project proposal will represent 20% of their mark, their project log-book 20% and the final project outcome 60%. In rare circumstances students may be able to work on projects collaboratively with another, where it can be shown that the process of collaboration is essential to the conceptual development and final value of the project. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The planning, development and realisation of a significant creative work will allow the student to develop their skills in conceptualising, planning, managing, making and finishing a technically and intellectually challenging project. Students will, at the end of this course, be confident creative practitioners able to develop their ideas and realise them independently. The project will contribute to the student's portfolio of work and demonstrate their capabilities with digital and other media and their familiarity with engaging issues and problems across disciplines, technically and conceptually. The student will be able to demonstrate an awareness of the methods and constraints of working towards public exhibition or presentation of creative work. |
