Aims
To encourage students to situate and plan their ongoing practice within a critical, historical and theoretical framework which underpins their relationship to both disciplinary specific and transdisciplinary research.
To provide students with a range of theoretical tools to support independent conceptual and critical evaluation of their own practice in relation to contemporary Art & Design.
To enable students to identify and propose, through written communication, further areas of research in relation to the broader contexts which underpin contemporary practice via seminar presentation with appropriate supporting material.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Articulate an understanding of the historical contexts, frameworks and critical approaches that inform the practice of contemporary Art & Design within a named discipline.
2.
Reflect critically on their own work and locate their practice within contemporary audio, visual and material culture as appropriate to the field of study.
3.
Present an articulate major proposal for research in written report form and in relation to the broader contexts that underpins both their own proposed practice as well as exemplary practice in the field.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Introduction to practice-based research, history and theory as applied to Art & Design.
Introduction to a variety of research methods and skills.
Exploration of the diversity of contemporary practice at the forefront of the represented disciplines.
Seminars outlining the aims and objectives of the associated coursework.
Module Overview:
This module is shared by all students studying on taught postgraduate programmes at Liverpool School of Art and Design and allows you to collaborate across programmes.
This module is shared by all students studying on taught postgraduate programmes at Liverpool School of Art and Design and allows you to collaborate across programmes.
- A series of lectures, seminars, tutorials and visits will introduce you to current and emerging practice in relation to a diverse range of historical, theoretical and critical principles
- Guest lecturers will expose you to areas of collaboration
- Seminars and tutorials will require you to share, discuss and evaluate your ideas and practice with others
Additional Information:During this module students will begin an appropriate form of documentary to record their ongoing reflexive critical practice. Students will be expected to place their research interests within chosen contexts and methodologies, proposing and presenting ideas and areas for development in the form of a major project proposal.
The major project proposal will constitute a statement of intent related to the subject areas represented and discussed during the module lecture and seminar series. It will be forward looking and speculative in nature, allowing for the possibility of change and development as new knowledge is encountered during the programme. The presentation in report format will include appropriate supporting visual material together with a literature review and methodology as appropriate to the field of study.
Additional information will be provided in the Module Guide.
