Osaamistavoitteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Students will gain practical understanding of multisensorial experiences in everyday life and in art and design making. Participants will have basic knowledge of speculative and critical design and learn to communicate sensoriality in design projects.
Sisältö (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The course offers understanding of multisensoriality and its potential in communicating ideas. We will explore multisensoriality through personal experiences, learning about sensory impairment and hands on studio-assignments. Art and design practices are approached as means of personal exploration as well as aiming for societal impact.
Students will learn to communicate ideas using the concepts of speculative and critical design. Also playful and absurd thinking is welcomed to express ideas in these areas. Each student will plan and execute an individual or group project focusing on sensory experience. Students are encouraged to work in transdisciplinary groups to explore the theme.
