Aims and Objectives
Learning Outcomes
Subject Specific Intellectual and Research Skills
Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:
- Develop ideas through observation and investigation
Knowledge and Understanding
Having successfully completed this module, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
- Specialist skills and processes relevant to the discipline
Transferable and Generic Skills

Syllabus
- workshop training in further skills in painting, printmaking, sculpture, digital and lens-based media, and performance.
- further set projects, markedly less constrained than the projects in Studio Practice 1A, again to provide parameters within which to develop ideas, test materials and techniques, and make work to given deadlines, but within an increasingly self-directed framework
Learning and Teaching
Teaching and learning methods
- Briefings, tutorials, group crits, workshop inductions and self-directed studio-practice
- Work in progress and outcomes are discussed individually with tutors, and in group crits and project reviews.

Assessment
Assessment strategy
Assessment is by portfolio: a body of work mainly produced in on-campus workshops and studios, but also including any site-specific and location work, to be submitted with a log of the semester’s studio activity.
Formative
This is how we’ll give you feedback as you are learning. It is not a formal test or exam.
Portfolio
- Assessment Type: Formative
- Feedback: Feedback on project briefs. You will experience formative feedback during the module in different learning situations, for example: tutorials, crits and written feedback.
- Final Assessment: No
- Group Work: No
Summative
This is how we’ll formally assess what you have learned in this module.
