CONTENTS
The course work can be done individually or in group, offering a wide scope for the individual student to develop creative, conceptual, technical, journalistic, and artistic skills. This project aims to help students to develop personal skills related to both artistic and non-artistic processes, which places high demands on their previous experience in artistic projects. The course is both experimental and practical. The students will develop and present a joint project within clearly defined frameworks in dialogue with teachers. The project aims to inspire its audience and to reflect on the concepts of criticality, poetry, cultural context, form and content and should be presented in public at the end of the course. The student’s work is developed under the teacher’s supervision, but also independently; student’s initiative and own responsibility are rewarded. No formal literature is included in the course; a literature list will be tailor-made for the specific projects included in the course. Students are encouraged to find external sponsors, and to work towards the industry and local media to promote their projects. The course often includes an international aspect.
TEACHING
The course is designed to promote student-active approach. The student’s own experience and own creative work is incorporated in a project. The work in the course is conducted in project teams. This approach puts into practice interpersonal skills in different sets. Groups may be established by the teachers in a dialogue with the students. Students' work is supported by various forms of teacher-led activities: such as, but not limited to, tutoring, group discussions, lectures, individual text information and workshops.
