Overview

The module deals with the creative relationships between drawing and painting and how both are used within the context of studying the human figure. This course further advances visual concentration along with creative investigation.

Students expand their ability to observe, perceive and express the visual characteristics of the subject. Through their chosen medium, students are encouraged to explore and develop a personal visual language (i.e. communication using visual elements). Students will produce a portfolio of completed studies of the human figure displaying their emerging individual style.

Students have an opportunity to submit their work for assessment (80% attendance is required to be eligible for assessment) should they wish to gain the MTU: Single Module Certification for this course.

What is a Module?

A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and is completed within one semester. A full-time student will normally study six modules in each semester; part-time and ACCS (Accumulation of Credits and Certification of Subjects) students will have flexibility as to the number of modules taken.

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
