This course is particularly suitable for those who have been keeping a sketchbook for visual research and would like the opportunity to discover new potential within their work by exploring alternative ways of developing ideas and enriching personal direction for designing, making and constructing art and design works. Through the exploration and manipulation of a range of two and three dimensional techniques, the course will give students the opportunity to experiment with materials and processes. Using texture, colour, paper engineering, assemblage and collage students will create a series of developed studies, design samples and maquettes as the basis for innovative art and design objects. |
