First Year - Autumn 2012

 

All First Year students are required to undertake FOUR Media Studies Courses (two from Autumn and two from Winter 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 28th September 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 classes will commence on Tuesday 2nd October.  Attendance to all classes is compulsory.

 

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

Peripheral Landscapes

  • Sue Barr

  • 36 Bedford Square-
    North Jury Room

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

Taking inspiration from the work of legendary American landscape photographer Robert Adams, this year we will exploring landscape photography in suburbia. Instead of photographing iconic architecture within the city centre we will be working at the periphery of the city, where the landscape is more subtle and reveals its forms more quietly.

Sampling 5x5x5 - Drawing

  • Christopher Dyvik &
    Jorgen Tandberg

  • 33 Bedford Square-
    First Floor Back

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

The participants will learn how to measure and redraw architectural fragments as a means of improving ones understanding of built space. We will focus on how the placement and proportions of basic architectural elements such as walls, windows, doorways, columns and stairs, as architectural composition, alone produces a silent argument.

Translation Object to Drawing

  • Shin Egashira

  • 33 Bedford Square-
    First Floor Front

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

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

  • 33 Bedford Square-
    Ground Floor Back

  • 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."

Information Design and Presentation: Diagrams

  • Heather Lyons

  • 36 Bedford Square-
    South Jury Room

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

During this first term, we will survey the worlds of maps, diagrams, infographics, colour and typography. We will then create our own maps and diagrams. We will work together to communicate abstract concepts in a visually clear and inviting way while looking at the pros and cons of different visual production techniques from Adobe CS to light scripting.

Materiality of Colour

  • Antoni Malinowski

  • 36 Bedford Square-
    First Year Studio

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

The course focuses on the potential of the subtractive colour in creating /manipulating space.  In a series of workshops students will develop sensitivity to the use of colour and tone in relation to the dynamics of space and movement.
