| Summary | RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things. Sister Corita, 1967
This course introduces students to chosen specialisms. In the Art Practice course in semester 1, students were introduced to making work and various common strategies across the School of Art. This course builds on this experience and learning. This Semester students are asked to apply these strategies to particular specialisms, adapting them to the relevant outlooks of individual specialisms and their approach to art making in a contemporary art context.
|
| Course description |
Students are asked to choose projects. These could be in different specialisms from the four in the School of Art or they can spend their time immersed in just one. The projects are workspace based and focus on making work, from research through to final presentation. The emphasis in all the projects is on learning and exploring through making work, and then reflecting on this through lectures and group discussion.
Students will learn what 'research' 'practice' and 'presentation' may mean to particular specialisms and how their work fits within the context of these. Teaching will consist of specialist specific talks, one to one tutorials, small group seminars and whole group lectures. Crits will occur at the end of each project. This is augmented by the Friday Talk series of lectures, which all students are expected to attend, and technical workshops introducing students to ways of making valued by their chosen programme.
Each area will set projects specific to their methods and philosophies. Certain tasks will be set within each brief but they will be open enough to allow each student to develop a range of unique, personal responses that develop their ideas and practice in unexpected and ambitious ways.
