Short description

Reflection/communication works in two directions. On the one hand, the student develops methods to show and communicate their work. On the other hand, the student explores these methods in order to understand their work in depth to improve it in its content.

Different components are:

Writing texts in order to visualise an artistic work through language.

Conducting a dialogue on the working methods of other designers in order to develop an understanding of different types of work.

Applying scenography to present the artistic work in an exhibition environment, not only for one's own exhibition but also to learn to think more broadly about exhibiting.

Designing a personal portfolio with visual material from the Jewellery Design studio, to be processed with drawing techniques and/or digital image editing and digital layout.

Being able to defend one's own bachelor project orally.
