Module Aims
To evolve, structure, organise and manage a theoretically underpinned, personal line of practical enquiry in a choice of discipline.
To evidence investigations and interrogations of both historical and contemporary sources appropriate to the development of chosen themes for future practice.
To develop an experimental line of investigation that utilises and explores materials, methods and processes appropriate to ideas
Content Summary
This module picks up where Self-Directed 1 and Contextual Studies 2 ends, requiring students to further investigate the ideas and concepts at the heart of their artistic practice through media, processes, and practices.
They will begin by proposing a project with a written statement of intent. They will then spend the duration of the module researching and experimenting their ideas, concepts, media, processes, and practices. Students will be expected to undertake different forms of experimental, self-directed learning, employing different approaches and strategies in the teasing out of themes, interests and concerns.
The outcome is not a resolved body or piece of artwork, but a series of investigations in practical art making. Each element of experimentation and creative outcomes will be critically evaluated in order to discover new pathways in personal artistic practice.
Emphasis is on the process of research and responsive experimental process in the development of ideas and material outcomes, potential being a key issue rather than refinement and resolution at this stage.
Students will further develop their own visual language of representation and making evident in outcomes and journals.
Students are free to follow and combine any pathway/s they choose to create their experimental research and development. They will have access to all equipment, staff specialisms, and materials available but are also invited to add to these, using any means they see as suitable (in agreement with tutors).
The end point of this module will be the discovery of personal visual language, the conceptual specialism, and readiness to produce resolved works for Self-Directed 2.
