In Major 6, students develop an individual work proposal in consultation with academic staff. Experimental studio research informed by contemporary and/or historical precedents develops over the semester.  Critical reflection is further encouraged through discussion with staff and peers . Studio theory further consolidates each student's ability to articulate a contextual framework for their design practice.   OHS is approached professionally at this level. Students will develop, complete and exhibit a substantial body of design-related work.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Plan an Independent Study Program
2. Execute and present an original design related project
3. Compare and discriminate between your own work and that of other artists and designers in the field

Portfolio of studio work (80%) [Learning Outcomes 1-4]
