Outline and objectives

Art and design play important roles in society. This is true not only for the 21st century, as art and design have been formative in the shaping of the history of societies throughout the world for centuries.
This course introduces students to the fields of art and design, identifying and exploring the differences and the overlaps between them.

Goal

Through this course, students will learn about the relationship between art and design and society, while also gaining an understanding of concepts relating to aesthetics, media studies, art history and contemporary art and design. Through the ideas introduced in this course, students will become more aware of the impact of art and design in the world around them, and equip them with the knowledge and vocabulary to engage in discussions related to the topics raised.

Final Presentation: Students choose examples of innovative art or design they have engaged with directly. The presentation should include key points such as innovation, value, authorship, the user/viewer experience, and its appeal to them and to the general public. In addition to the presentation itself, preparatory work in a notebook will also be assessed to form the final grade.
Students are free to choose their subject but must present the chosen topic in class during the first half of the semester.



Final assessment is based on:
