Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Students have the choice of engaging with the module by placement, studio practice or a combination of both. Students will receive a series of lectures, tutorials, seminars and group crits and cross-year crits, in support of their Fine Art practice. These will encourage the projection of work patterns and professional Fine Art practice. Students will continue to be monitored by studio staff through a series of core formative tutorials, group crits, and cross-year crits, in support of their Fine Art practice. Through seminar and group crit activity students will apply appropriate documentation and recording of their experimental approaches and on-going work and apply it to developing their practice into a final presentation of a relevant body of work. Outward facing and internal exhibitions and crits will form the basis on which practical work is developed. Parallel to this, appropriate career and postgraduate strategies will be developed through a series of lectures, personal and group surgeries and seminars. A reflective statement forms part of the final assessment.

The aim of this module is to equip you with the practical, intellectual and interpersonal skills necessary for careers as professional artists, by producing and distributing contemporary Fine Art practice in a public setting at a professional level.
Additional Information:This module is about producing and distributing contemporary Fine Art practice in a public context to a professional level.

The module also asks students to evidence how the context of and possible location of their work affects its meaning and perception.
