Module Description: |
The aim of this module is to deepen conceptual and creative skills and specialisms in set design through an investigation into site specific set design. The module will examine modernism in the visual arts, architecture and on stage and film set design and apply this to learners' own set design strategies. From this learners will examine visual ideas related to post modernism. The module combines and extends learners' skills in drawing, painting towards combining practices with digital imaging to develop project briefs. Learners will document and research through a site visit or online a specific location. The designs for this location will be realised as virtual models.
