Course programme
Content
The Print and Time-based Media pathway supports contemporary art practices that make use of a broad range of technologies. These include: video, animation, digital photography and sound equipment as well as analogue processes related to film (super 8 and 16mm), printed matter and edition. The course is structured around group discussion and informed critical debate. You are encouraged to explore gallery based practices and beyond - incorporating installation, artists publications, live art, screenings, broadcasts, and websites. There is a particular emphasis on practices that move between the still and moving image and in different strategies for distributing artwork, employing techniques from both 'pop' and 'high' culture.
As an applicant for this pathway you will have an interest in experimenting with the facilities offered in order to expand your awareness of how media has become vital to contemporary art and continues to have a profound impact on contemporary culture.
Course Highlights
- A wide range of experience and approaches to art practice within the staff team including visiting artists Graham Gussin, Paul Rooney, Polly Gould, Diann Bauer, Lindsay Seers, David Osbaldeston, Janet Hodgson, Damien Roach, Richard Hylton, Richard Birkett, Denise Hawrysio, Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Richard Layzell, Johannes Maier, Simon Martin, John Smith, Mark Titchner.
Structure
Year 1: You will be introduced to art making practices and key methods of research. You will create work from your own ideas and participate in a programme of specialist skills workshops and practical inductions including digital media, traditional print media, sound, animation, or in web-based and broadband technologies.
Year 2: You will expand your conceptual understanding through experimentation. Professional practice includes a placement or project that will enable you to align your practice with professional arts practices. You will take an elective unit, selected from a broad range of options to enhance your core subject of study.
Year 3: You will further develop and produce a focused body of work, which will lead to the final degree examination. You will negotiate an appropriate balance of practical and theoretical work and present a dissertation or equivalent. There will be opportunities for you to take part in a mid-year, off-site exhibition to explore and develop your plans for the end-of-year degree show.
