Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Display a basic competence and technical fluency in a range of media appropriate to Illustration, Interdisciplinary Practice, Photography and Printmaking.
Understand and apply techniques in order to creatively observe, investigate and respond to landscape in its broadest sense.
Produce a portfolio of work demonstrating organisation and presentation skills.
Demonstrate the ability to critically interpret and reflect on their own work and that of others.
Analyse and contextualise their work in relation to discipline specific terms and movements.
Understand the importance of ethical and safe practice.
Brief description
Over ten weeks, students examine the landscape through these disciplines, learning techniques, processes, methods and materials.
Workshops delivered from staff across disciplines equip students with fundamental technical skills and an understanding of the conceptual frameworks relevant to each medium. Through the study of original artworks in the School of Art Museum and Galleries, alongside external exhibition visits, students learn to identify and analyse a wide range of artists’ techniques and approaches. Lectures foster a deeper understanding of how the landscape is interpreted through various media, informed by relevant critical and theoretical debates.
Using ‘landscape’ as the unifying theme complements the core art history module AH11520: Looking into Landscape: Reading, Researching, Responding which also runs during Semester 1. This connection between history, theory and practice provides a basis for project work, thus supporting a cohesive student learning experience.
Aims
To introduce students to a range of artistic media and approaches through the theme of landscape, developing both technical skills and conceptual understanding.
Content
