Studio Practice (40 credits)
Studio studies focuses on individual practice, building on the knowledge and experience that students have gained in their first year. Students select a discipline or range of disciplines and research a theme of their choice. This leads to a body of studio-based work which strengthens their understanding of individual practice as well as their own context in relationship to contemporary practice.
Professional Development (20 credits)
Students develop an awareness of professional development issues on this module. Practical sessions in documenting work through image and text are used to build up documentation of work. Workshops in basic web design equip students with skills to produce an online portfolio.
A series of guest talks by artists, curators and arts professionals inform students of a range of professional issues including setting up artist-led spaces, making proposals, applying for opportunities and personal development plans.
Professional Practice (40 credits)
This module offers students the opportunity to formulate and undertake a major project with individuals or agencies outside the university context. The project may take the form of a collaboration, commission, exchange, residency, placement or exhibition. Students have developed and realised projects with a range of organisations including Dance East, the Salthouse Hotel and Addenbrookes Hospital. On completion of this module students have a greater understanding of professional aspects of creative practice.
Contemporary Art and Ideas (20 credits)
This theoretical module develops students’ understanding of contemporary art production in critical and theoretical contexts. Significant themes in international art practice are examined including postmodernism, relational aesthetics and commodification. There is a major focus on developing students’ skills in critically analysing art works and ideas, whilst building practical experience of academic research, discourse and writing.
