The presentation of detailed proposal work and related research. Assessment weighting 100% coursework.
Each student will be required to present through an appropriate form of exhibition a coherent resolution of a project. The student is required to present a portfolio of work, which places his or her studio practice in context. This folio should map their own practice into appropriate contextual and theoretical resources and show evidence of an ability to identify and clarify resolution. The student needs to provide verification of an advanced understanding of how that context relates to an articulated sense of a project and a competence in fine art exhibition protocols. This should include a comprehensive artists' statement.

This module enables you to demonstrate the practical and theoretical skills accumulated during the course. It provides you with the opportunity to determine, explore and deliver through exhibition, a negotiated programme of study. This module is the logical progression from the Fine Art Project Introduction Module, providing the opportunity to demonstrate the impact of theoretical and practical investigation in the production of your art work. The module enables you to implement a high level programme of studio work and relevent research which will lead to the resolution of the project and its presentation through public exhibition.

Independent studio practice which will involve the testing of both your technical resources and your understanding of the position of your work within the context of contemporary fine art practice. This will be supported through regular individual tutorials and group seminars which provide opportunities for staff and fellow students to discuss the issues raised by your project. The creative synthesis of your practice is continually tested through the presentation of your work in small scale exhibitions and presentations which then become the focus for discussion.

In practice-based modules, appropriate student supervision beyond the stated contact learning hours is determined by the number of students enrolled on the module per semester, and will be in accordance with current health and safety requirements.
