Continuing on from your research undertaken in Task 1, this assessment task invites you to develop your own conceptual approach to the idea of Bodyworks, underpinned by the conceptual issues connected with our understanding of the body and wearables. You will develop your own concept and material language, making refined design prototypes that resonate with the notion of large scale, conceptual approaches to bodywork (this may include performance and installation).

This is supported by extensive material and technical research through a series of studio-based and self-directed exercises, thoroughly documented in a Process Journal. The materials and design work should have a conceptual resonance with your proposed work for Task 3. This introduction to rigorous studio-based conceptual, material and technical research is intended to support the development of your own independent approach to studio- based design practice. Feedback will be provided on a regular basis in studio through discussion with peers and tutors. Summative assessment and feedback will be provided digitally based on the rubric.
