Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Students will continue to define their own practices and test these by choosing tutor led projects which will span the semester culminating in a group presentation moment. They will be encouraged to develop contemporary Fine Art practice within their broader creative, expressive and personal concerns, via a negotiated programme of visits, experimentation and production. Artwork may be presented in any medium, and substantial programme of artistic production guided by their personal tutor via exhibitions, projects, frameworks, lectures, tutorial, group tutorials, cross-year group crit. shows, and seminars.

Practice led projects will be initiated by tutors in relation to their own practice and may change accordingly, however, an indicative list would include: Sound, Film & Print, Collage, Miniature, Projection mapping, Painting in the expanded field.

These projects will also support students to engage in workshop facilities across the school with staff support and culminate in an exhibition.
Module Overview:
Within this module you will consider the appropriateness, mode and situation of media used in Contemporary Fine Art Practice so that you can consider the role that audiences and peers play in the production and distribution of contemporary art practice. Students will also undertake a tutor led project introducing them to a range of approaches, practices and research activities undertaken professionally by the staff team.
Additional Information:
This module asks students to test their practice by considering their work in a public context. Placing work in a presentation or exhibition context or “distributing work “necessarily requires considerations of resolution, completion, presentation, professionalism and cooperation. The module also considers how the context of the work, or where students choose to place it effects its meaning and how it is perceived. Students are expected to build on the strengths of their work and shed the unnecessary elements as a result of this testing.
