Central to the practical modules is the critical and contextual studies module that is about understanding the philosophical, social, cultural and aesthetic questions related to the practice of Street Arts. The work-related element in year one is about working with an organisation in the community and gathering evidence for outreach work or community involvement in a street arts project. In Year Two, the practical modules focus on developing your specialist skills and using them in an interdisciplinary way.
