Description
Fully online postgraduate core course
This final core course aims to refine your critical thinking skills and your capacity for creative problem solving. You will reinforce your awareness and appreciation of the diversity of creative approaches across disciplines, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changes in industry by being able to integrate new cross-disciplinary creative connections, knowledge and skills within your own practice.
This course will guide you in formulating your own cross-disciplinary creative process, that you will apply in the final project of your Creative Portfolio. Beginning with a rigorous critical reflection of the previous two stages of your Portfolio, you will examine your own creative strengths and weaknesses as revealed by past peer and lecturer critiques and analysis, and identify specific disciplinary strengths.
This reflective report will provide you with a starting point from which you will propose your own final creative project, which will integrate what you have learned from different electives you have studied throughout the program. You will be required to map the different knowledge and skills you will require, demonstrate how they will each inform your creative process, and outline what further research you will need to undertake.
Whilst completing your projects, you will learn techniques to improve your collaboration and communication in a cross-disciplinary context, giving you the skills you need to draw upon each other’s diverse disciplinary knowledge, skills and expertise as part of a community of practice – working collaboratively to help each other reach your individual goals.
At the conclusion of your Creative Portfolio project, your final task will be to analyse and evaluate the success of your own cross-disciplinary creative process in achieving your intended aims. From this, you will reflect upon how your experiences within the entire program have impacted your own personal creative practice, flexibility, adaptation to change and the ability to work successfully in a team.
*The Portfolio is an assessable component of coursework that progressively accumulates throughout the entirety of this masters program
IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will receive course website location and log in instructions via their UNSW email account prior to the commencement of the course.
