In this module, you will develop an independent approach to researching and produce a visually led project. The module allows you to explore your interests and subject matter in depth within the context of your own discipline. You will be required to make informed personal observations, explore, and interpret themes, and make creative responses towards a defined subject matter. You will be encouraged to experiment and investigate different ways to produce visual work and apply critical review and feedback to inform your work. The module will also develop your advanced research skills, including research processes within theoretical and practice-led frameworks. You will be supported in your development by the introduction of various output strategies, such as the self-published artist's book, blog sites, video. You will also hear from industry professionals during study visits, guest speaker talks and portfolio reviews.
This module is designed to run alongside your other HE6 modules and will build and reinforce the learning from those modules. As well as this, the module enables you to take learning from your previous years on the course and asks you to apply this to your final year and projects.
