On completion of the course, the student should be able to: - demonstrate skills in creative work and expressive abilities in space and volume using different techniques and materials, - demonstrate a reflecting approach to space and volume, virtual and actual, - deliberately interpret, aesthetically and technically, in three dimensions, - express himself or herself in shape, colour and artistic interpretation through an experimenting working method, - independently assess and analyse craft, handicraft and design products, - demonstrate a scientific approach to the process and products of handicraft

Content

The course includes creative work with practical, experimental specialisation and problem discussions of the conditions and processes of the creative process. Essential contents consist of creative experimental work with an emphasis on the different expressions that space and volume give. The student works with craft and handicraft techniques, particularly those where technology, instruments and tools contribute to creating expressions in space and volume in the materials. The student works with compositions and designs that create space and volumes. The course includes exercises and assignments that give the students opportunity to reflect on how the own knowledge can be translated into future products. A selection of the students' products is presented in exhibition form while an orientation in the different methods of interpretation and expression of the exhibition is given. The student is given the opportunity to reflect on how the own knowledge can be translated into future products. The object analysis covers the sender and receiver perspective. The course includes an individual written assignment that introduces the student to report writing.
