Object and Furniture 1 FSF113

Hobart, Launceston

Introduction

Introduction to studio design and making.

This unit sets the foundations for designing and making objects in a world of rapid change. Directed by academic staff and technicians, you will design and make a cohesive collection of small-scale objects that critically respond to current and/or emerging contexts. Experimenting with techniques applicable to materials such as wood, metal or clay, you will develop underlying technical, critical, analytical, conceptual and research skills relevant to contemporary object-based design practice.
You will engage with design brief/s, lectures, demonstrations, studios, workshops, tutorials, discussion or presentations that span historical, traditional, theoretical, technological and current approaches to making processes. Instruction and compliance to workplace health and safety (WHS) is fundamental to this unit.
