Course content

The course will qualify the student for independent exploration in materials, techniques and tools through an analytical methodological approach. Examples from various artistic development works are used as an impetus in teaching. The academic content is practical and creative through independent exploration in one or more of the arts and crafts of the various fields; art, design, architecture and visual communication. The course is artistic as well as methodologically oriented and deals with aspects related to the choice of the artist-teacher and artist-researcher: to formulate a limited problem, create a project design, use methods to produce research material, test in a workshop, analysis methods, interpretation, artistic and theoretical reflection and documentation. The creative work may be related to the research topic that forms the basis for writing the master's thesis.
