In practical classes students engage in interactive and physical tasks that introduce material manipulation and construction processes. Hands-on making and problem solving is undertaken as both individual and group activities to encourage confidence to work in a large scale and undertake creative experimentation. The projects are designed to develop tacit knowledge and are supported by media and technologies to assist with both the development and documentation of design outcomes and contextual understanding. Students are required to complete set home projects to develop concepts and skills introduced in class. Practical journal work is undertaken as a means to record and reflect on the creative learning process.
