StructureUnit One
You will encounter a wide range of approaches to drawing from a diverse range of sources. Debate and innovation will be encouraged, focusing your attention on drawing's multiplicity of purpose, currency and potential for direct communication and dynamic problem solving.
Unit TwoThis unit will focus on defining and developing themes from unit one via individual or collaborative research questions. The unit will allow students to set up identifiable internal or external collaborations, and establish specific targets to develop your individual research strategy.
Unit ThreeThe final unit allows students to further develop their individual research questions, and explore and define practical methodologies to articulate drawing for a purpose. The focus of the final unit is on how best to present your work to an audience and build a supportive network around your practice to make it sustainable beyond your MA.
