ART 1
Hello, Welcome to our end-of-year catalogue. It features work produced by our Foundation students over the last year for their Final Major Project, combining pieces by onsite students with limited access to workshops and technicians due to social distancing, and work by our online learners located around the world. The students were supported by our ingenious staff and technicians, who created workshop video tutorials from the perspective of making at your kitchen table, helping students find alternative ways to make work. Going back into lockdown mid-course was a challenge. We were aware that many of our onsite students often had lack of access to materials, workspace, and even a device to attend class! We are so proud of the many ways our students have risen to the challenge, finding alternative routes to creativity in such difficult circumstances. When they look back at their accomplishments through the year, I hope they recognise their resilience, determination, and resourcefulness — qualities they can call on throughout their lives. It was such a pleasure working with the students of 2021, please enjoy looking at their wonderful work. Claire McCormack Programme Director
Summary overview of ART pathway The focus of the pathway is to develop individual visual intelligence and to provide an environment where students can practically and intellectually extend their ideas and practice. Students will develop an understanding and awareness of the essential link between theory, concept and practice and develop the necessary skills to be able to realise their ideas. Support is provided through studio-based teaching, enabling students to develop an individual line of enquiry. An environment is created where students exchange ideas through projects, crits and seminars to initiate a forum for debate. The Art Pathway aims to develop critical awareness and understanding of fine art and its contexts. Art specialist Option: Painting : an overview This specialism is focused on the practice of painting, but it also encourages working in other media, that emanates from an understanding of painting. You will be encouraged to develop an individual line of enquire in response to project briefs and will develop theoretical skills and technical understanding. A range of technical processes specific to the discipline will be delivered and you will be introduced to key thinkers and ideas. Through engaging in lectures, seminars and studio discussion groups you will begin to situate your work within a wider contemporary context. Key introduction: “Vitamin P” published by Phaidon. Art specialist Option: Drawing & Conceptual Practise: an overview In this specialism, the idea comes first and then the appropriate means of expressing that idea is found. Artists using drawing as their primary art practice create individual works, unique books, film, animations, sound, installations and objects. We deliver open projects that reflect current ideas that artists are engaged with, and support your individual interests and developing art practice. Discussion around contemporary art theory is an important part of the area, with weekly contextual readings and group seminars, and exhibition visits. Art specialist Option: Sculpture: an overview This specialism is practical, theoretical, diverse, and conceptual. We teach you practical processes in the studio such as casting and mold-making, wood construction, and work very closely with the 3D workshop to support your individual making. Sculptors are involved with object-making, installation, exploring site and presentation, interactive art, socially engaged practice, kinetic work, and sound, film and performance. We regularly deliver contextual lectures, and visit exhibitions to support your research into contemporary art practice, and your individual art practice. Art specialist Option: Photography & Time-Based Media: an overview Some of the most vibrant fine art practice around today is photographically based. You will be encouraged to explore the photographic process with an experimental and research based approach and asked to consider how it is possible, using the photographic process in some form or other, to generate content. The Specialism includes, Photography, Video, Sound, Performance, Animation and Installation. The expansive nature of the medium is something we will explore through projects, talks, seminars and discussions, and throughout the programme there will be an investigation of the complex and shifting relationship between analogue and digital technologies and an opportunity to learn new skills.
