Brief description
The module is an interface between your BA degree scheme experience and the first Exhibition of the MA degree scheme. The module provides a context for the initial development of Fine Art practice. You pursue an agreed programme of self-initiated, research-based study in Fine Art under tutorial supervision. The resultant portfolio should demonstrate that a student has extended their previous experience and practice, defined a specific subject matter, research problem, or field of action, and acquired and refined knowledge of technical, stylistic, theoretical, and historical frameworks relevant to their work. It should also manifest an enhanced capacity to be productive and experimental, and to work at an appropriate and consistent pace within a prescribed timeframe. In tutorials and seminars, you should demonstrate confidence in justifying and articulating your practice, and cognisance of relevant criteria in order to make discriminating judgements about your work. In these ways, the module is conceived as a means of instilling standards and strategies of professional practice.
Aims
A. enable the student to develop a portfolio of work over an extended period of time that demonstrates a creative, productive, and imaginative interpretation of subject matter, the acquisition and refinement of appropriate technical and technological dexterity and stylistic sophistication, and an cognizance of appropriate conceptual, theoretical, and historical frameworks.
B. enable the student to develop and sustain a self-initiated programme of work to this end in consultation with a supervisor, a programme that defines a specific research problem and which is responsive to external directives and the internal dynamics of the work
C. challenge the student to experiment, test hypotheses, and broaden and extend their field of action, and articulate verbally the criteria by which their work is made and assessed
D. develop a body of work as a foundation for ARM0460 Exhibition 1
E. develop the student’s capacity to communicate orally and critically about
Content
Tutorial 1 (Weeks 1-2) Stage 1: Defining the area of study in terms of subject matter, materials, skills, approach (stylistic and/or theoretical), and relevant sources. Tutorial 2 (Weeks 3-4) Stage 2: Testing and development of the above and, if appropriate, devising alternative subject matter and operational strategies. Tutorial 3 (Weeks 5-7) Stage 3: Development of the successful subject matter and operational strategies. Tutorial 4 (Weeks 8-10) Stage 4: Consolidation of the successful subject matter and operational strategies. Tutorial 5 (Week 11) Stage 5: Consolidation of the successful subject matter and operational strategies, and reflection on achievement.
VACATION Stage 6: Implementation of outcome of reflection and preparation of portfolio for presentation.
