Courses
First Year - Winter 2013

 

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

  • North Jury Room*-
    36 Bedford Square

  • 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 - Model

  • Christopher Dyvik &
    Jorgen Tandberg

  • First Floor Back-
    33 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

The course will focus on model making as a tool to study and articulate building volumes, by revisiting existing spaces and abstracting them to their most telling, simplified motifs. In the process, we will develop our understanding of architectural proportions. We will use basic digital tools to develop customized moulds for resin casts, articulating mass, volume and space through a series of material choices.

One-To-One Instruments

  • Shin Egashira

  • First Floor Front-
    33 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

Techniques for constructing performative instruments, including collage and bricolage, to be tested through application to the city. We will be working both on drawings and physical assemblages to develop design concepts.

Information Design and Presentation: Portfolio

  • Heather Lyons

  • Studio 2-
    36 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

The spring term will form a deeper investigation into putting all the pieces together. We will look at typography and layout techniques in greater detail and take a critical look at layout strategies. By the end of the term, you should be communicating visually with impact.

Materiality of Colour

  • Antoni Malinowski

  • First Year Studio
    36 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

The course focuses on the interaction of  subtractive and  additive colour. We shall be considering micro structure of pigments and other materials as a source of the  perceptual interdependence of micro and macro scale.

Object Organisation

  • Marlie Mul

  • Ground Floor Back-
    33 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

In a course focused on formal improvisation, we each will work towards the creation of 1:1 scale functional objects from Styrofoam. Working according to a set of parameters, the object will be the site for finding a successful structure by means of both improvisation and calculation.

Video: First Year

  • Joel Newman

  • South Jury Room*-
    36 Bedford Square

  • Tuesdays 2-5pm

We will make a one minute animation that plays on scale and disrupts perspectival space. ChromaKeying, Motion, AfterEffects and HD video will be our weapons of choice. n.b. 1 minute of video is 1500 discreet frames.
