Module Aims
To teach good practice in health and safety and ethical practice
To teach skills of perception and interpretative approaches
To develop confidence, initiative and imaginative approaches to media and processes
To enable the application of these skills and approaches to other areas of art practice
To enable the generation of ideas, concepts, proposals and solutions in response to set briefs
To enable you to form a critical response to the work and significance of other practitioners
Content Summary
The module includes external visits to museums and galleries, which will directly inform the research and critical understanding of your practice.
You will work in a medium of your choice in response to a set project brief, in which you will explore and develop skills in the application of a range of processes and materials and in forms and methods of study.
You will be expected to develop visual languages with which to investigate, analyse, interpret and articulate your responses to a variety of subject matter. Visual metaphor, transposition, appropriation, narrative, material equivalence and viewpoints will be introduced as means to generate ideas.
You will be asked to question the value of conventional and unconventional approaches to Painting, Ceramics, Drawing, Digital or 3d Mixed Media and the context of their display.
Visual journals will be used for primary sources, observational research and concept development and will form part of the summative assessment of the module. Blogging will be used to evaluate your creative process and to reference secondary sources to engender openness to the work of other artists and approaches. Blogging will be formatively assessed within this module and will contribute to the summative assessment of Art Practice 1.2 Research.
