A11KOB Artistic Methods and Techniques 1 3.0 credits

This course is an introduction to artistic expression, tools, and concepts as they relate to the discipline of architecture. The objective of the course is to train students to see, to open up, and to make art using alternative perspectives and methods. The focus is on tools, materials, and visualization relative to fundamental concepts.

The course is divided into two examination components.

Part 1: 1,5 hp

Part 2: 1,5 hp

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• use two-dimensional images as a tool for exploration
• be able to work with and apply abstraction and concretion in the creative process
• establish and develop an independent approach to using the concepts introduced in the course to describe and discuss their own artistic creation and process

• MOM1 - Moment 1, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• MOM2 - Moment 2, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Learning outcomes are assessed through presentations of the process and results in assignments specified at the start of the course. To receive a grade, students must submit all required assignments and maintain 80% attendance at lectures, seminars, tutorials, and review sessions. Students must also submit a reflection on their own learning.

Course module supplementation means that a student who has received a grade of F and is deemed to be close to meeting the requirements for a passing grade of P may be given the opportunity to complete supplementary work to achieve a passing grade. The course examiner decides whether supplementation is possible. The supplementary assignment is designed based on the learning objectives the student has not achieved. The student shall be given 15 working days to complete the supplementary work. After that, supplementary work may not be done, in accordance with KTH’s guidelines on course syllabi, grading systems, and examination.
