This course enables Design Arts students to focus on an individually directed Design-based project in consultation with academic staff. Experimental studio based research explores the convergence of material exploration and developing ideas, informed by contemporary and/or historical precedents in the field of studio glass, Design, and/or the broader Design Arts. Critical reflection is further developed through integrated studio theory and visiting artist lectures; critiques, tutorials and informal discussion with staff and peers. Students articulate a Design framework for their practice, and will develop, complete and exhibit a substantial body of research and work in glass, with a design focus, at the end of the semester. Students demonstrate an awareness of Occupational Health and Safety appropriate for independent practice.
