Brief Description | This module establishes a defined structure and forum for critical reflection, discussion and knowledge exchange, through various methodologies of integrating theory and practice. As such, it presents a focused opportunity for students to extend the range and nature of both their theoretical research and conceptual understanding in relation to practical work. |
Indicative Syllabus | - The core focus of analysis, and subsequent emerging discourse, could be issues relating to students’ studio work, practical work made in response to this particular module (either individually or in groups), or issues raised through the art history lecture programme. In some instances, there may be opportunities for collaboration with students from other courses, both in and outside the faculty of Art and Design. As there are a number of distinct options as to approach and outcome of this module, students will need to agree a programme of study with the module tutor. Assessment will span practical work, written and visual research, as well as verbal discussion though regular seminars and group critique. Reflection on, and the journalistic recording of, those discussions and the contextual research they inform, will be vital material gathered in order to plan and deliver a presentation, which could form a significant part of the formal assessment. Central to the aims and objectives of this module is the potential for students to both affirm and challenge their own approach to thinking about, and making art. This will contribute to a platform of open and flexible discourse, which has the potential to enrich and stimulate students’ own practice, the environment of the year group, and course as a whole. It is intended that knowledge and understanding gained through this module will help to form interests and methodologies of research, which will inform the dissertation at Level 6. |
