VCDD 306 Creative Research

As a foundation in understanding the nature of creativity, the goal of this course is to encourage and enable students to become self-motivated, capable of overseeing, independently and collectively, all aspects of the creative process. Key skills, essential in all the creative disciplines, will be developed through a series of lively group projects and individual assignments. These include competencies in visual and literacy research; the generation and development of ideas; critical evaluation; contextual analysis; discursive and collaborative skills; and competence in developing core concerns of the individual student.
