| Brief Description | This module provides the opportunity to complement or support main study at Level 3 through a focused and investigative use of practical and research methods. This module enables students to focus on fine art studio practice making use of alternative media or approaches to their main practice. |
| Indicative Syllabus | Students make specific proposals in terms of study or research, and through practice should widen and deepen their understanding of forms, processes or modes of operation, whilst broadening their understanding of their working methods and contextual issues.Students will be expected to identify personal concerns within their main or related studio practice, and encouraged to take an inventive or alternative approach to the researching and realizing of those ideas in a visual form. The module offers students in Fine Art Painting and Drawing the possibility of undertaking a defined practice based visual project, in parallel with their main studio practice. This research project must be clearly separable from the student's main studio practice, while also bearing an identifiable relationship to it. Students should research relevant artists and models of practice, and to key methods and processes in the promotion and development of understanding through images. Examples could be drawing, including life-drawing, sculpture, including site-specific works, photography, printmaking, animation etc or any combination of these and other media. |
