Teaching and learning methods
Within the ART modules, the development of work takes place in close dialogue with the student¿s main tutor through guidance, both individual and in groups, that stimulates exploration and experimentation. Group critiques encourage students to hone their reflective and analytical skills in relation to the work of their peers.
A study trip takes place at the start of this semester, during which students give a short presentation of their work as an introduction to the group.
Students submit an individual semester plan outlining goals and proposed activities. These activities must correspond to the learning outcomes of the module and must be approved by the main tutor.
While emphasis is on independent development, students are encouraged to attend lectures, presentations, seminars and workshops as available. In addition to their tutor group activities, students meet regularly with their year group throughout the semester.
