Authorised by Academic Registrar, April 1996
Objectives On successful completion of this subject students will be able to demonstrate a broad knowledge of design and techniques appropriate to the area of study; produce distinctive individual and conceptual ceramics; exhibit a high standard of presentation; demonstrate potential for further study at post graduate level.
Synopsis In the final year of the course, students are given the freedom to work in an independent way once their program of work has been approved. A coordinator supervises the programs and gives guidance as it is required and on the request of the students. The work produced culminates in an end of year exhibition of a professional standard, thus preparing students for further study at postgraduate level or entering the professional world as artists/designers. This subject will also develop in students a professional attitude towards the marketing of their product via small business management, and links with commercial galleries, and industry.
