ACADEMIC INFORMATION Modular Structure The modular curriculum in RP has a tiered architecture which allows students to take modules in the following categories: • General modules help build flexible broadbased competencies such as cognitive skills, communication skills, knowledge of organisational behaviour, and other 21st Century Competencies. • Discipline modules focus on foundational underpinning of a chosen field of study by developing competencies and knowledge in the discipline. • Specialisation modules are designed for domain specific training and to deepen understanding of the chosen specialisation. • Elective modules are designed to complement the knowledge base and skills in the discipline. • Freely Chosen modules allow students to pursue peripheral interests other than their chosen field of study. Students choose from a list of selected modules.

Assessment and Graduation Criteria Students generally undertake five modules in an academic semester. During a semester, there are continuous and summative assessments of students’ learning outcomes.

The goal of this module is two-fold: 1) to help students become aware of the elements of design, and how they can be used to communicate effectively, and 2) to help students become more confident in using these various elements to express their own artistic points of view with imagination and creativity. T307 CONCEPTS OF PERSUASION The effectiveness of a creative work depends upon the ability of its creator to convince us of his/her point-of-view or artistic intention. But exactly how is this done? What factors contribute to a work’s effectiveness? How can an understanding of these factors be used to create stronger, more effective creative work? This module explores concepts of persuasion in relation to creativity. Whether the intention is to sell a product/idea or to produce a piece of creative expression that is clear and meaningful, an understanding of these concepts is essential to creating an effective piece of work. This module seeks to explore, analyse, and ultimately understand the nature of persuasion in a way that is useful for the improvement of one’s creative process and output, looking at human behaviour, the influence of culture, the use of language and imagery, the difference between emotional and intellectual appeal, the balance of the artist’s vision with the desires of the audience, and ways in which these can be managed to produce more effective and personally meaningful work.

T311 INSTRUMENT DESIGN This module introduces you to the field of organology to stimulate you to design, modify, and build your own musical instruments. By reviewing ways in which sound production techniques have influenced musical practices and styles, students analyse the role technology has historically played in art making practices.
