Planned learning activities and teaching methods | The taught part of the course is delivered to the students by means of lectures, conducted with the help of computer presentations. Studio work is carried out on the laboratory’s computers. In the first part of the semester students will have to complete short exercises, these exercises lead to a more advanced familiarity with Photoshop. During laboratory sessions, students work in parallel with the instructor. Through this process students develop the essential skills to apply on their single piece of portfolio work. The second part of the semester students work on their studio work in order to improve the presentation using the instructors assistance and advice. Before the end of the semester students have ample time for face-to-face sessions with the instructor for discussion and possible questions. | ||||||||
