| Summary | Within this course you will be asked to critically explore and respond to a range of compelling environmental contexts, to consider how creative practice is positioned as a critical response to the world around us. For this purpose you will be introduced to a set of project opportunities where environmental issues are distinct, in particular the relationships between people, land and natural resources.
Projects will call on students to identify methods of creative approach that build through logical stages towards detailed structural and visual outputs. This process will be documented as lines of critical inquiry, involving experimentation and material implementation.
Aims:
To formulate responses to varied contexts into refined presentational work;
To promote realisation of detail and refinement within the material considerations of your projects;
To enhance an ability to effectively present a body of work in a professional manner to a wide audience.
Mode of delivery:
Installation, Presentation, Project review, Studio based and tutorial engagement.
