- produce a critical illustrated written account of the progression of their practical work.
Syllabus
This lecture based module will give students the research skills needed to contextualise their practical work in relation to that of other artists and designers. It will encourage them to critically engage with their own practical work in a more confident manner.
Students will be encouraged to conduct research from a wide range of sources, including theories of art and design and investigations into contemporary and historic textile and fashion product trends.
Two seminar groups will allow students the opportunity to discuss and present their ideas. The module is assessed through the submission of an illustrated critical journal detailing the progression of practical work conducted in DESN 3342.
