Covers the conceptual and practical possibilities of digital photography. Students will experiment with a wide range of image-making technologies including SLR digital cameras. Lighting considerations and a range of options for printing digital photos will be explored. Contemporary photographic practices will be covered within the context of global image circulation.

Provides students with an overview of analogue photographic processes. Students will gain skills in darkroom photography, including a practical understanding of film camera technologies, developing and printing processes, and the use of darkroom techniques to refine and manipulate photographic imagery.

Considers the various ways in which actions, processes, and materials can shape a painting practice. Covers a range of painterly actions and a self-generated list of ‘paint-related’ verbs (to roll, to smudge, to scrape). Students will create a ‘catalogue’ of marks and manipulations of paint. They will then develop these ideas through a studio practice which explores abstraction, materiality, and considerations of form. A broad range of traditional, modern and expanded paint properties and mediums will be considered.

Explores contemporary techniques of still life and representational painting as a means of re-thinking visual histories. Students will gather and arrange source materials and object references and explore a range of painted responses. Emphasises the construction and preparation of supports and surfaces, colour theory, and the methods and mediums that support painting practice.

Engages with tactile processes of object-making and reproduction to create works of contemporary art using clay, wax, and other materials. Students will make reproductions of their handmade objects using a range of casting processes and explore how multiples impact the form and content of artworks.

Focuses on performance art as a means of communication. Examines the ways in which performance can be integral to an artistic and cultural identity, contemporary life, and community.

Considers how documentation effects our understanding of performance art and what might be done to retain and communicate the ephemeral effects of a passing event. Students explore their own performance practice and develop appropriate methods of documentation including video, photography, drawing, and sound recording. Students will work both collaboratively and individually, using documentation as a visual and conceptual tool.

Emphasises the practical aspects of establishing a career as a creative practitioner. Covers writing proposals, applications, artist’s statements, and other practical tools for a creative career. Focuses on the ability to communicate ideas effectively to peers and professional networks.

Students will consider the types of roles and structures that exist in contemporary art worlds, with a focus on curatorial practice and exhibition making from the perspective of the artist. Engaging with the local art world, students will develop a critically informed exhibition proposal for a real-world context.
