Course Description

In this course you will explore the skills and knowledge required to organise and realise a creative project from the development of ideas to the creation of the work. This will be based upon a drawing folio of ideas. Ideas for communication are diverse and may include design concepts for objects, processes or spaces, or movement sequences for performances or screen productions. Drawings may be for personal use or for presentation in exhibitions, tender bid proposals or publications. Drawing may be electronic or hand drawn.

At this level, you would take some responsibility for experimentation with a range of drawing techniques and be expected to show some command of those techniques.  

This course is delivered in conjunction with CUVACD301A Produce drawings to communicate the ideas.
