Description

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this innovative module offers a broad-based exploration of creativity in learning/arts-based practice from a national and international perspective. Students will be invited to reflect upon their own conceptions of creativity and creative practice, interrogating specific historical, cultural and ideological factors which have shaped different approaches. In addition to conventional seminar discussions, sessions will include practical workshops, including the opportunity to specialise in one of the following areas of study: film-making; animation; game authoring; drama; creative writing. With an emphasis on playful inquiry, the module aims to help students develop a critical awareness of theories about creative practice, particularly across a range of media platforms, and consider associated pedagogies. For educators it offers ways to think about the creative practice of their students, but also to reflect upon their own creative work in arts-based practice. In the way this module integrates current research interests of the tutor team with interactive and inclusive pedagogical principals, it closely reflects the aims of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s Connected Curriculum.Ìý
