Assessment 1: Project Work

Project Work

This module will focus on student-led work and gaining an ability to undertake research and reflection.
The emphasis in this module is on the development of creativity and visual perception through exploration.  Students will have the opportunity to experiment with some of the media, processes and visual language associated with visual communication.  The module encourages the development of personal strengths and interests and introduces concept development through a range of media and processes.
Students will need to demonstrate the ability to move through initial research to development of ideas and refine a final outcome.  They will reflect upon research and development stages of the project in order to inform independent choices for a final outcome.
