Module Aims
The main aims of the module are:
To develop and further refine student’s pre-existing knowledge, skills and understanding of participatory art practice, building their artistic identity and confidence in their artistic ability.

Content Summary
In this final module, you’ll bring together everything you’ve learned - your creative practice, theoretical knowledge, and professional skills - into an inclusive community art trail which embraces your artistic identity and responds to a local community.
You’ll design and deliver a participatory art installation within a local community context, creating an experience that is inclusive, accessible, and engaging. This is an opportunity to connect your art with real people in real spaces.
Building on the foundations from previous modules, you will use your critical research skills and professional creative practice to take your work into the public realm. Along the way, you’ll:
Create a high-quality artwork, developing your confidence in your artistic ability.
Collaborate with local stakeholders to strengthen your networking and professional relationships.
Plan and organise your installation, including risk assessments and creative accessibility strategies.
Develop marketing and promotional materials, such as a website, to maximise audience engagement.
Interact with the public during the art trail, gaining valuable insights into how your work resonates.
Evaluate the impact of your project using practical tools to measure engagement and success.
This module is all about making your art matter in the community and developing your professional skills in project management to take forward into your future career.
