Week 1 Brief Breakdown

This post is where I can break down the brief into parts I understand and can refer back to. 

Due dates; 
Practical Component - 12th October
Written Component - 24th October 5pm

Practical Component;

• An image or object that critically considers relations of power and sexual orientation. 
• Critically consider the artists/designers/medias position of privilege in relation to with audiences/participants/clients.

Zine Component;

• You will work collaboratively as a class to compile these into a zine.
• The zine will include aspects of your written component to support connections between your research and your image/object. 
• This should be clear through your analysis of the issues you discuss rather than a description of what your reader can see.

Written Component;

• An essay that critically unpacks the key theme you have considered in your practical exploration.
• This is done through course readings and appropriate further reading discussing/employing relevant examples. 

At the end of this assessment:

• Develop and apply critical awareness of a variety of different cultural world views in historical and contemporary contexts.
• Identify key course related issues through appropriate case studies.
• Analyse different intentions, values and meanings in thematic contexts of design and the creative arts.
• Express ideas clearly through written work and other presentation requirements. 
• Appropriately identify, source and synthesise different methods of information gathering.
