Brief description
This module provides an opportunity for students taking a variety of modules within the C.A scheme and Fine Art to work together as a group in the School of Art studios, enabling them to develop a rich and interactive practice-based dialogue, community and culture in the School of Art studios and its learning and teaching environment.
Students will be encouraged to continue to draw upon elements from their optional taught modules and to build upon the self directed creative practice that they developed in Interdisciplinary Making 1 in year 2, towards the continued development of a unique, individual or collaborative interdisciplinary creative practice.
Students will develop their projects through alternating fortnightly taught sessions and individual tutorials in the School of Art studio provided (allocation based upon studio proposals).
Students will work together as a team, under tutor supervision, to curate and coordinate their own site specific interventions and the interventions by students taking Interdisciplinary Making 1, towards a public exhibition at the Arts Centre.
Under tutor supervision and in consultation with staff at the Arts Centre 3rd year students will coordinate the event: accepting and negotiating each others and 2nd year project proposals, managing the budget, creating a timeline, setting up consultations, managing publicity, marketing, hosting the event, documentation , post production, post event follow up procedures etc of the public event.
The students continue to learn how to develop a practice that is directly connected to and informed by their research, aware of how their practice sits within a wider contemporary, interdisciplinary critical discourse.
This module is taught through a lecture, workshops, individual tutorials, group tutorials, student lead seminars and presentations. The students will develop a project that encompasses and critically engages with the wide range of attitudes, approaches and disciplines offered by the Creative Arts and Fine Art Schemes. Students will consider how to creatively intervene with the ‘site/situation’ (e.g. the Arts Centre)

Content
The learning and acquiring of professional and employability skills are central to this module. Students are asked to identify then extract and process an intelligent, innovative and critical practice-based outcome that is an assimilation/outcome of their studies across the study schemes.. They must then develop a site-responsive or site-specific project to be presented within the public space of the Arts Centre and to a live audience. Students will also take on the responsibility for curating, hosting and documenting the exhibition.
