Content Summary
The module is divided into 3 Projects
Working from the Model (term 1)
You will examine principles of measurement and proportion, defining the figure using line and tone, experimenting with viewpoints and environmental contexts and exploring notions such as the naked and the nude, the gaze or the body in fragments. Such studies will be complemented and informed by independent research into the work of other artists, their approaches and agendas in depicting the model and the body.
Museum Project (term 1/2)
You will structure, organise and manage a personal line of enquiry in your choice of disciplines in conjunction with visits and researches conducted in public museums or art galleries, their objects, artefacts and curatorial policies and artist interventions. You will develop knowledge and understanding of the context of display integral to the creative process and consideration of the final outcome.
Self-directed: (term 2/3)
You will be required to produce a body of artwork completed through self-directed study, which will be professionally exhibited in a public or commercial gallery. The project requires you to write an Art Practice Proposal, describing aims, objectives, primary and secondary sources, relevant context, research methods and technical programme. You will be required to develop an innovative and experimental line of investigation that utilises and explores numerous construction and application techniques within the creative discipline.
You will evidence a thorough investigation and interrogation of both historical and contemporary sources relevant to the chosen themes and curation as artistic endeavour.
You are required to record and reflect on the creative process, secondary research and on the outcomes from the 3 projects through a professionally presented and illustrated weblog.
You will give a Powerpoint presentation on a selected topic relevant to methods and contexts of museum and gallery display
