ART724- Module Launch
This week saw the beginning of the module ART724. Today, i embarked upon the Module Launch detailing the frame work of the course and what to expect within the upcoming months. I began by outlining what i intend to do throughout the module in the form of a learning plan. I also began artist research and continued progression with my ideas gathered from the previous years modules and feedback.
Learning Plan (ART724)
I intend to showcase a series of prints or drawings about forests and trees, Exploring themes of nature and landscape in the process as areas of interest.
I will accomplish these tasks using various methods. Using both practical and theoretical knowledge to progress. Research INTO the subject using critical studies of practices, historical studies and past collections etc. Research THROUGH performing the acts of printmaking and/or photography as processes, developing ideas, works, experimentation. ACTION RESEARCH: Testing ideas, peer group discussions, exhibitions, practice led research. Research FOR, collecting source materials and acquiring techniques and skills to produce outcomes. (Gathering both primary and secondary research and attending workshops).
I aim to demonstrate my development and progression through the presence of an online blog/WordPress. And visual progression is to be stored within sketchbooks and workbooks throughout the year as evidence. These will be coherent and available for referencing as and where necessary.
Methods of working: Studio work, printmaking workshops, research visits, trips to galleries and exhibitions, creative/critical writing, location drawing, field trips, sketchbook development, WordPress, (Blog updates)
Statement Of Intent (ART724)
I intend to showcase a series of artistic works about forests, trees and the environmental challenges and threats they face in today's world. Deforestation being the main theme within my works. Also Exploring themes of nature and landscape in the process as areas of interest and the deconstruction of images as an unexplored area of interest and experimentation. My aim within this module is to work closely with forestry England on an extended placement within Thetford Forest with the possibility of attending several artist workshops and collaborating with local artists.
