After successful completion of the course, students are able to
The success of a desired design as well as the qualitative implementation of creative ideas and concepts in an (artistic) object or product depends, among other things, on knowledge and experience in dealing with materials and the technologies available for manufacturing processes. The content of the course is the mediation of these factors, which in a complex way determine each other, as well as the testing of their manifold interdependency in the course of a concrete design.
The „Gipsraum“ of our research area is provided as a learning environment. A more in-depth individual research on the topic forms the beginning. First ideas in the form of sketches are accompanied by material and manufacturing experiments. The exploration of the material properties to their limits is an important component for the discovery of artistically relevant qualities.
Individual work or group work (max. in pairs)
Development (sketchbook and working models), submission and presentation of a topic-related artistic task in the form of a concrete, sensually perceptible 1:1 object (can also be multi-part).
Fundamentally immanent examination character, whereby emphasis is placed on attendance at the workshop and cooperation in weekly meetings and intermediate presentations.
