The program will offer a series of structured classes, practical exercises and projects to assist students to experiment with a range of tools, materials, methodologies and pictorial conventions. Students will be encouraged to develop critical and reflective thinking by participating in group discussions.

This subject will enable students to:

The mid-semester review takes into account the student's progress against the following criteria:
