LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course offers students creative and experiential ways to find their inner invisible potential and make it visible through different practices of art and design. This potential can be used in everyday challenges both in working life and studies. During the course, students are given art and design based tasks and exercises that benefit various artistic, creative ways of working and thinking. This will offer non-art students completely new approaches to think themselves as students, professionals and inventors as well as support them in challenges.
