Content

The course contains practical and experimental work with different techniques and materials. The student experiments with colours, shapes, designs, surfaces/structures, volumes, functions, techniques and materials in different applications. The student selects which techniques and materials to include. Analyses, written documentations and presentations are included on the basis of a chosen subject area. Also included is research methodology with a focus on handicraft and its processes. The course also covers the exhibition as a medium for communication. The exhibition as a meeting with audiences and activities is highlighted and examined. The course includes presentation techniques that give the students the opportunity to reflect on how one's own knowledge can be translated into future products.
