This course is ideal for those who are developing their artistic and creative practice and have an interest in how art audiences and viewers perceive and experience works of art and design. The course will draw on set readings from areas such as communication studies, science, art theory and philosophy to stimulate thinking around how you engage with art, or how viewers or audiences may view, engage or participate with your own creative work.

Course programme

We will cover theories of visual and sensory perception, and explore how these might help us understand the making and viewing of art. We will explore theories of experiential and participatory practice, looking at different ways in which artists, deisgners and makers involve audiences in the perception or production of creative work.

You will be taught through a mixture of illustrated talks by practising artists and/or theorists, paired and group discussions, debates and presentations, supported by theoretical readings and visual analysis exercises. Students will be expected to be developing their creative work outside of classes, and support their study through independent theoretical readings, gallery visits, and some short preparatory tasks.
