Course detail
Studio Practice 1
FaVU-4SP-1Acad. year: 2022/2023
In the course, students pursue their creative practice in a specialized studio of their choice. In the studio, students are provided with material conditions and a welcoming and engaging working environment for their practice. They acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills concerning material processes and technological procedures in the field designated by the specialization of their studio, address creative and critical concerns of contemporary art/design, and gain confidence to negotiate their positions as artists/designers. Students develop and demonstrate complex understanding of what constitutes excellence in contemporary art/design through working on projects that they present and defend at the end of the semester. Working on projects, participation in studio activities, and the schedule of one-to-one tutorials follow the individual studio study plan that is set up by the student and their supervising tutor at the beginning of the semester.
