Aims:
The aim of the module is to provide students with the opportunity to build on the intellectual and technical enquiry of their third year. It aims to enable students in the expansion of independent learning; in the focused development of an individual body of work that brings together speculative, intellectual and technical/plastic skills. The module aims to enable students to state their "position" as artists, facilitating informed critical judgement and evaluation of their work. This module also aims to facilitate planning and preparation for their final exhibition and the future (postgraduate opportunities, employment, professional practice as an artist). |
Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of this module students will be able to demonstrate:
the ability to independently evaluate and progress intentions, processes and results
a coherent, creative and speculative synthesis of material processes and ideas
informed and considered methods for the presentation (exhibition) of work
evidence of the use of research and a developing perspective on relevant critical contexts
the ability to convey ideas and to demonstrate a stance in their work |
Additional outcomes:
This module also aims to encourage the ability to organise time productively. Problem solving, professional development, and information handling will be addressed. Presentational skills will be developed. |
Outline content:
Students will have the opportunity to extend and test the intellectual and technical skills established in their third year working with increasing independence on the development and evaluation of their artwork. They will begin to take responsibility for their creative choices, analyse and propose solutions to creative questions raised. Students will research and locate their work within the context of relevant historical and contemporary precedents. They will engage in research and planning for their final show and the future. |
Brief description of teaching
and learning methods:
Students will be involved in tutorials, studio seminars, talks by visiting artists, seminars on professional and other post degree opportunities. Students will prepare and deliver a presentation of their work to students and staff using appropriate methods (eg. slide, video and/or DPP). These presentations will result in a short written personal statement. |
