| Course description |
During the Summer Vacation period students will plan, develop and make their the major individual practice based creative project of 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 the primary ideas, issues and processes they have developed during the Interdisciplinary Creative Practices programme and take forward issues they identified 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 10% of their mark, their project log-book 10%, the final project outcome 40% and the project report 40%, which should be approximately 6000 words. 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 major creative work will allow the student to demonstrate their professional standard skills in conceptualising, planning, managing, making and finishing a technically, intellectually and artistically challenging and mature project. Students will, at the end of this course, be confident professional standard creative practitioners able to develop novel ideas and realise them independently. The project will be a major contribution 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 project report will evidence the student's ability to clearly articulate their ideas, concerns, contextual awareness and critical skills whilst demonstrating their capacity to manage the detailed practical aspects of a significant creative project. The report will include detailed documentation of the final project, employing appropriate media to that end. Through a final end of course group public exhibition the student will be able to demonstrate professional standards of expertise in the public exhibition or presentation, promotion and contextualisation of their creative work. |
