SEMESTER ONE AAD009 Drawing in Practice This module introduces students to visual fundamentals with particular emphasis on drawing practices across art, design, and digital design. Students will be encouraged to develop their understanding and knowledge of such practices in order to develop their proficiency in communicating visually in a range of materials and approaches. It is the first module on the course and leads directly into the next module AAD010 Introducing Studio Practice. AAD010 Introducing Studio Practice This nine-week module provides the opportunity to explore the various workshop approaches and practices within art, design, and digital design discipline areas. This module is divided into three blocks of workshop areas where students explore each of these areas in rotation. This will allow students to make an informed choice for the second semester specialisms and future degree pathway. Students will also develop skills in contextual research and understanding and link these with studio practice areas. SEMESTER TWO AAD011 Creative Careers & Sustainable Futures This module enables students to gain an understanding of professional practice within the creative industries while importantly linking this with global citizenship and sustainable futures. It allows students to build knowledge and awareness on how to develop into a responsible creative practitioner while building key transferrable skills in preparation for Level 04 study. AAD012 Exploring Studio Practices This twelve-week module offers students a choice of practice-based specialisms to further their study from a range of workshops that are representative of undergraduate degree programmes. Students enhance their practical skills with an emphasis on idea development and interpretation within their chosen specialism. Contextual research and writing is embedded into the workshop areas. In addition, students complete their final portfolio of practice-based work in preparation for progression to chosen degree pathway.
