Course Description
Students will study the current and recent developments in Art and concepts of Philosophical and Sociological relevance. The programme provides the resources and learning context necessary to assess and critically evaluate theories of visual representations, an integral part of the production of practical work in fine art. It aims to provide the basis for future professional art practice, curatorial engagement or academic research at a higher level. Programme content is tailored precisely to its objectives, the central concerns relating to professional accomplishments in the making of art in contextual, critical and theoretical understanding and students are helped to identify and negotiate personal and shared positions within current practice/theory. Appropriate critical and technical skills and methodologies are developed continuously throughout the programme and students develop their abilities to communicate concerns, and define objectives and achievements relative to professional art practice. Students take full responsibility for their own programme of work, routinely engaging with critically informed contemporary issues in art. This includes the production of work in the studio and workshop environment and a programme of research and study. Reading lists are provided and updated, to suit the individual and their particular line of research and development through tutorial guidance.
