Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module will support students in developing their understanding of techniques applicable to their own research or advanced scholarship. The module will encourage students to evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses.
Additional Information:Within this independent study module the syllabus content is determined by each participant within the parameters of the programme structures and requirements. The emphasis is on experimentation, improvisation and exploration of ideas, themes, processes and approaches. There is no expectation of producing fully-resolved works at this stage. Selected examples of relevant art practices, ideas, theories and related issues are analysed and discussed. Work in progress is presented for peer and staff discussion, critical analysis and evaluation, both to provide feedback, to develop presentation and research skills, and to support each student in the clarification of aims, and in the development and contextualisation of work.
