Course descriptionTHIS IS A FOR-CREDIT COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED.

This course offers students who have knowledge of stained glass the chance to explore more advanced techniques and develop an individual approach to working with the medium.
This course develops skills in working with and designing stained glass including cutting, leading, soldering fusing and painting on glass with enamels. Attention will be paid to how technical skills and an awareness and understanding of the use of light can inform the development of related ideas to enable students to make a series of samples and finished works. Students will be encouraged to develop increasingly innovative and experimental approaches to the medium supported by research and development of visual ideas.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, through attending classes and engaging in directed and independent study, students should be able to:

RESEARCH
Demonstrate an awareness of current practice in stained glass, including the development of an awareness of glass as it relates to light and space, through the use of a sketchbook or visual journal.

PRACTICE
Develop individual experiments and samples into a distinctive final piece or pieces which demonstrate an informed use of a range of techniques.

PRESENT
Select, edit and present a coherent body of research, samples and finished work that demonstrates practical and aesthetic judgement in making and presenting designs for contemporary stained glass projects.
Assessment Information
This course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual design works within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved design works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. Typically, this will comprise:

Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work undertaken during the class)
Directed hours: 27.5 (work the tutor has set students to each week in their own time)
Independent Study Hours: 45 (work students set themselves to do, relevant to the discipline studied)

The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
