Aims
- The purpose of this module is to introduce and develop students' ability to follow a conceptually lead investigation, taking their lead, inspiration and ideas from contemporary practice, while recognising and understanding the historical background to artist's practice.
- The aim of the module is to introduce to students methodologies for developing an interdisciplinary approach to their practice and encourage them to adopt new approaches and attitudes to art practice within a non medium specific context.
- Students develop a studio based practice within designated studio space and the 'Project Room', an empty, experimental bookable space.
- Students will be introduced to a wide range of media not offered elsewhere in the School of Art; installation, mixed media, 3 dimensions, film, video, sound, site specificity, new genre public art, socially inclusive practice, text-based practice, performance, animation etc while they are also encouraged to engage with contemporary approaches to subjects that are already offered within the School; drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and illustration.
- Video, sound, animation, and digital art are taught and supported by workshops and one-to-one surgeries in the Creative Media Lab within the School.
- Students are encouraged to cross the boundaries of specific mediums, to work with a combination of mediums that best suit their conceptual investigations.
- The module promotes and centres on community learning, collaboration and communication. Meetings will be student centred and student led, where possible, focussing upon students' work in progress and discussions on relevant contemporary practice.
- Students taking this module will be encouraged to continue their course of study through ISP 3, 4, 5 and 6 in order for them to establish a continuity and methodology of working across disciplines and media in the studio, Project Room and offsite throughout the 2nd final year.
- ISP 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are designed to allow the students a continuous and flexible approach to interdisciplinary practice offering them time and space to follow individual and consistent lines of enquiries within very flexible and open-ended set projects.
