SummaryThe course will encourage you to grow and extend your practice both within and out with the confines of the college environment and reach a broader, more diverse audience. You will be encouraged to reflect on and review your art practice in relation to the wider current and historic contexts.

Course description You will extend your understanding of particular processes, methods and applications relevant to your work and begin to consolidate an integrated knowledge of your specialism that is informed by current practice.

You will continue to work in an increasingly independent manner in conjunction with a number of cross-school studio critiques, project space presentations and regular tutorial support. External exhibition opportunities, invited artists, gallery visits, lectures and workshops will contribute to learning. You will test how artworks are installed, received and understood professionally by participating in an external exhibition and collaborating with your peers across the School in the development and implementation of other external opportunities.
