First Year - Autumn 2009

 

All First Year students are required to undertake FOUR Media Studies Courses (two from Autumn and two from Spring Term).  The courses result in practical submissions both of which must be passed in order to complete the Media Studies submission requirement (MS1). 

First Year students will meet with the Media Studies Course Tutors on   Friday 2nd October at 12.30pm in the First Year Studio Space to discuss the courses on offer.  Registration for courses will take place online the same day, and the classes will commence on Tuesday 13th October for six consecutive weeks exclusive of Week 6.  Attendance to all classes is compulsory.

 

Registration for Spring Term Courses will take place at the beginning of the Spring Term and students will be reminded of the process via the Events List.

The Violet Hour

  • Sue Barr

  • Open Room 2 - 36.G06

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

Photographs made during the fleeting light of dusk present technical challenges but also the opportunity to explore the notions of transience and mysterious psychological states that this time of the day suggests. Throughout the history of art this liminal state has inspired images that suggest an ambiguous and fleeting beauty and the position at which hard facts become elusive. This course will introduce students to the basics of photography and digital cameras whilst producing images shot within the parameters of this transient time.

Translation Object to Drawing

  • Shin Egashira

  • Open Room 6 - 36.214

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

Translation of objects into drawings / drawings into objects  

 

Is there any difference between means of representation and that of designing? The course will examine close link between procedures in representing and making of space, by translating an object into various form of drawings as well as interpreting a set of drawings into various patterns in models. Topics include: section / extraction and subtraction, layering and projection / exploded axonometric, choreography / three dimensional trace and diagram, drawing relationships between objects and drawings / unmaking objects by drawing.

Life Drawing

  • Trevor Flynn

  • Open Room 37.101

  • Tuesdays 1-4pm

The figure will be used as a departure point as we work through several exercises that enable us to study tone, mass, line, simple underlying structures, in a range of drawing media and in short and longer poses from male and female models. We will also explore concept sketches, viewpoint, biomorphic improvisations and remind ourselves of the Matisse maxim " exactitude isn't truth.

Do you think of the sun as a yellow spot or do you think of a yellow spot as the sun?

Materiality of Colour

  • Antoni Malinowski

  • First Year Studio
