This course will refine your understanding of how context is critical to the development, presentation and reading of an artwork. Through self-initiated study and a range of externally focused projects you will be encouraged to engage in a range of professional contexts.

You will produce a critically reflective body of work that draws upon historical and contemporary references evident in current practice.

2. To enable exploration of appropriate methods of recording, documenting and disseminating art work in a variety of contexts.
