The Big Picture (11595.1)

This project-based unit provides students with a unique opportunity, working in small cross-disciplinary teams, to explore courageous or experimental projects, without the pressure of having to produce something that is objectively 'successful'. Assessment in this unit will focus not upon the quality or otherwise of the group-driven creative outputs, but rather upon the reflective, individual exegetical and reflective components that accompany them.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Formulate and present a diverse range of creative and cultural projects, within multi-disciplinary teams;
2. Demonstrate flexibility in their planning and teamwork, to communicate their project effectively;
