Aims
Develop students' ability to devise, plan and propose a research project in relation to their own art practice.
Enhance students' ability to implement, review and deliver a completed research essay, or project portfolio with accompanying critical text, which critically and contextually centres their own art practice.
Reinforce the application of specific and transferable research and writing skills in the field of professional employment.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate a self-directed approach to personal study.
2.
Research, comprehend, question and use relevant critical, contextual, historical and theoretical concepts which relate to the reflexive evaluation of the student's own artistic practice.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The Module Learning Outcomes are achieved through project-based Learning Agreements in which student devises their own programme of work related to their developing contextual interests and in relation to their art practice. Learning Agreements are reviewed and supported by seminars and practical workshops in the early stages of the module, and supervisory tutorials that function as regular formative assessments. Students will be expected to work independently and demonstrate an ability to identify and use available academic and professional resources effectively to sustain an independent research project that critically and contextually situates the student’s own art practice within the field of contemporary art.

Module Overview:
This module will help students develop the ability to plan and propose an independent research project in the context of their artistic practice. During the module, students are required to plan, implement and complete a sustained period of research, consulting academic and professional publications, artworks, exhibitions, archives, performances, workshops, broadcasts etc, as is appropriate to the project and in agreement with a supervising tutor. Projects may take the form of a written essay of 3,000 words with accompanying bibliography, or a research portfolio with accompanying written report of 1,500 words plus bibliography. Projects will critically and contextually locate the student’s art practice within the wider disciplinary field, and promote the application of specific and transferable skills in a professional environment.

Additional Information:
This module enables students to undertake an in-depth critical and contextual evaluation of their own developing theoretic and/or technical art disciplinary interests, exploring how these are contextualised with reference to their developing practice knowledge, as well as the wider field. Via sustained application and increasing independence of operation, the module provides an opportunity for students to enhance, consolidate and articulate intellectual and practical knowledge.
