This research and writing module offers the opportunity to concentrate on an area or areas of creative practice from a critical, historical and theoretical perspective. You will engage in a focused inquiry, working on questions arising from the practices of other creative practitioners and writers. In this way the research journey and the extended assignment underpin other modules at this level.
This module will enable you to develop skills in research and writing alongside critical awareness of a range of creative practices. This is achieved by extending your knowledge of primary and secondary research methodologies, the adoption of appropriate styles of academic writing, and use of consistent referencing and presentation skills. The assignment will show the necessary critical and contextual awareness of HE6 academic studies. This module encourages a high degree of self-motivation and autonomy. The written work prepared for the assignment will require self-reflection, critique, time/project management and academic rigor.
The schedule will provide a structure to support your proposal, research process, writing and the final written presentation. With tutorial support, this is a module structured to support the process of undertaking significant empirical, textual and written research, with the aim of developing contextual and conceptual awareness of the practices of others. This module underpins and strengthens the skills, knowledge and understanding acquired in previous modules in first and second year. It represents an opportunity to synthesise theory and practice through a self-initiated research project of an appropriate standard for this level.
Based on a student-initiated topic in negotiation with your tutor, this module commences with a proposal form, which is attached at the back of this Guide and available on Moodle for downloading. You may have completed this in the latter part of 2nd year (HE5) and had a topic approved, If you have neither of these then a short proposal form must be completed at this point. See the form at the back of this Module Guide. For contemporary practitioners, understanding the complexities of visual language and having an authoritative voice is important.
Being able to respond to contemporary issues and communicate effectively helps define and strengthen your practice and confidence. In consultation with your tutor, you will utilise your proposal for research that will culminate in an extended written project of 4,000 to 6,000 words (including quotations).
