Course Outline

Learners will research the following Historical Movements and Styles in small 'research groups'. These groups then present their research to the rest of the class as a multi-media presentation.

The thrust of these presentations is to give a broad over view of a particular culture in a specific time/geographical context; giving a taste and flavour of that particular period and how it manifested in all areas of Design. It is also aimed at how we can find relevance in that time period for contemporary concerns, particularly in Jewellery Design.
