Content Summary
This module requires the students to develop their final project and a resolved body of work, in agreement with tutors. Requiring students to work independently to structure, organise and manage a personal line of enquiry in their choice of disciplines in response to research conducted in Contextual Studies 1 and Research & Development.
Students will produce a fully resolved body of artwork through self-directed study which will be professionally exhibited in a public or commercial gallery.
The project requires students to write a proposal (Statement of Intent), describing aims, objectives, primary and secondary sources, relevant context, research methods and technical programme.
Students 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.
Development will be thoroughly evidenced through visual journal and blog, with evidence of investigations and interrogation of both historical and contemporary sources relevant to the chosen themes and curation. The blog will thoroughly and professionally record, illustrate, and reflect on the creative process, secondary research and on the outcomes from the projects.
The final resolved work will be professionally exhibited.
