The aims of this module are:

• To enable students to present a 10 min presentation about their practice.
• Through analysis, research and practice to develop presentation strategies and skills for their visual work

Students will work towards the production and presentation of their work at a major end-of-year exhibition. Students will be asked to consider their exhibition practice as an extension of their photographic practice, i.e. that the presentation of the work can enhance and improve the message, impact and individuality of their imagery. Students will also learn about the skills and preparation needed to present an Artists Talk. This talk will provide the students an opportunity to explicate, and offer a critique of, their work and how it may progress in the future.
