Students will determine their own reading list appropriate to their personal proposal of work, with staff guidance. Students are expected to take advantage of the extensive library facilities available within the University; keeping abreast of current developments through appropriate periodicals and being aware of the work of the major practitioners in the field.

AM00020-3 Photography: Individual Programme One.

Specialist darkroom, studio and digital facilities, as appropriate
Specialist photographic equipment
Library
Word-processing facilities
Internet access
The Blackboard virtual learning environment will be available (where relevant) to support this module. Details will be supplied in the module handbook.

You will present for assessment a body of work including:

Visual diaries or workbooks, documenting the research [Learning Outcomes 1,2,4].
Pictorial workbooks evidencing the experimentation/development of your work [Learning Outcomes 1,2,4].
A professionally executed and presented exhibition of work [Learning Outcomes 1,4].
A presentation that places your work in a variety of contexts and summarises its background and intentions [Learning Outcomes 1,2,3,5].

Working within the framework set up in the Individual Programme One module, you will be engaged with the production and implementation of your proposal for a self-initiated programme of photographic work. With tutorial support, you will continue the research and experimentation work begun in the last module, but this will now be focused with a much clearer sense of direction. You will be working towards the final exhibition and moving from the research and experimentation phase through to development and implementation. You will need to maintain an adventurous, risk-taking attitude while engaging with the realistic acknowledgement of the constraints imposed by time, space, people and institutions. You will consider your practice in relation to a potential career direction and this will inform the compilation of your portfolio and the form of your final exhibition. You will ensure that the end result of your final year's work is based as little as possible on speculation and as much as possible on the knowledge gained from trial, error and adjustment. It is very important that you continue to inform your practice through reading, research and the analysis of photographs from a number of sources.
