Studio Practice 3 (Double)

This module encourages you to establish successful development of a personal artistic vocabulary as being inseparable from critical research into contemporary art practice and the contexts in which it operates. You will be encouraged to experiment with materials, techniques and ideas, and develop a personal and inventive approach to making art that displays a technical competence, and increased intellectual activity and an awareness of context and content. An increasingly engaged understanding of the context of practical work is facilitated through close scrutiny of relevant examples of contemporary and historical visual art work, in relation to studio practice. the module will be given a theme in order to focus student intellectual activity against clear parameters and help them position their work in relation to some of the key factors that circulate through contemporary cultural production.
