Project Topic

You are require to present a proposal for a project/ artwork with the supporting research findings and development at the end of trimester one. At trimester two, you need to materialize your proposed project, present and exhibit in your graduate show upon completion of the project.

FYP 1 involves problem identification, individual ideation, idea development and proposal using situation analysis, precedence studies, conceptual thinking and developmental of creative concepts and documentation of research findings.

You are also trained to plan for and manage you project. Towards the end of the trimester, you should have conceptualized a project/ artwork. You are expected to present their proposal in seminar and the log of your research documentation and idea development in form of a blog.

ART, SCIENCE, URBANISM AND ECOLOGY

4) How to shape perception and experience of our changing environment.
5) Explore the relationship between nature and technology.
6) Explore the relationship (impact of) urbanization on the ecosystem. 
7) Investigates issues of biology and the history of science and technology
