Course overview

Students will be introduced to the Creative Arts through the exploration of frameworks to develop an understanding of the artistic and cultural industries and arts careers. Exploring case studies to better understand the experiences of artists from a wide variety of creative industries, students will develop their own identities as creative professionals and pathways to creative work. By examining the nexus of artist, audience, industry and society, and critically reflecting on their own place within it, students will gain important skills for project-planning, problem-solving, and creative innovation.
