This multidisciplinary course engages with the myriad possibilities of a fluid approach to Art and Design. Our course values creative research skills and activities and contextual studies as much as creative practice itself. Through a combination of making, reading, and writing, you’ll become a critical and creative thinker and practitioner.
You will experience an innovative approach to Art and Design, working across disciplinary boundaries, combining traditional and contemporary approaches between thinking and making, you will develop into creative and critical artists, designers, or hybrids, who are informed by the past, who challenge the present, and who are prepared for the future. Examples of integrated/hybrid Art and Design practices might include, but are not limited to, participatory and community arts/design projects, digital and physical mapping projects, artist books, publication as practice, interpretation of archival and historical materials, speculative design projects, environmental, landscape and place-based work.
