About the Module
'Guided Learning' is a module offered by Temasek Polytechnic which allows students to study their chosen area of inquiry through self-directed learning.
Students will plan their individual learning project, refine and execute their learning plan, as well as monitor and reflect on their learning progress across a period of one academic semester.
Project Description
Project Description
I will discover and watch silent films from the early stages of cinema, mainly from two art movements - French Impressionism and German Expressionism. Through a series of write-ups, I will conduct research on their history and analyse the styles and skills displayed in the films, as well as recognise their significance.
