Undervisningen består i forelesninger som presenterer sentrale tema i emnet og prosjektarbeid i workshops hvor både gruppearbeid og eget, selvstendig arbeid inngår. Det gis individuell veiledning og gruppeveiledning. Studentene deltar i undervisningen og i gruppearbeid. Det stilles store krav til selvstendig, kreativt arbeid og kritisk refleksjon. Det blir utarbeidet detaljerte undervisningsplaner for workshops, prosjekt og forelesninger med utgangspunkt i emneplanen.

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

• en plan for presentasjon og visning av eget prosjekt som følges av praktisk-estetisk materiale og dokumentasjon av estetiske referanser

Individual oral examination (20 minutes).

The exam result cannot be appealed.
