Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Students will critically engage with fine art history and contemporary art in Liverpool, nationally and internationally. The syllabus will be refined each semester with reference to contemporary exhibitions and events, and a series of art historical lectures. These will provide a basis from which students will be required to research more broadly and reflect upon their own examples of professional art practice. Students will also engage with workshops around research and self-reflexive writing skills.
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to advance your critical independent understanding of historical Fine Art practice, methodology and context to relate your personal interest to your own studio practice through the upkeep and presentation of a blog and writing of an essay.
Additional Information:This module requires students to critically and professionally reflect on their engagement with art both historically and contemporaneously, relating its relationship to their own studio practice. This is done by the upkeep and presentation of a blog, PDP and writing of an essay, based on an on-going engagement and reflection of the lectures, seminars, of visits to galleries, exhibitions and other relevant cultural events. The student is also expected to reflect these concerns in a critical essay.
