Description

This module aims to provide and expand a broad range of drawing skills. The programme offers a series of drawing projects that are designed to engender confidence, develop analytical skills, establish critical analysis to amplify and extend a foundation of practical applications in the drawing medium.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Have begun to developed an awareness of drawing skills, sensitivity to materials and understanding of drawing vocabulary and processes.

2.

Have acquired a range of drawing skills that address observational, analytical, creative and imaginative processes and concerns within the drawing projects.

3.

Have demonstrated an independence and resourceful ability to record, assemble, visually articulate images and ideas in context with historical and contemporary art and artist practices in sketch/drawing books and visual research journals.

4.

Have acquired a good standard of studio practice and participated in individual and group tutorials.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A range of teaching and learning strategies are engaged, ranging from individual and group tutorials to practical demonstrations of materials and techniques within the studio/drawing room. Illustrated talks on artists and arts practices along with a visiting artist programme provide an opportunity for deeper understanding. Field trips to museums and galleries at home and abroad add to knowledge depth.

Module Assessment Strategies

Practical work will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and there will be a formal mid semester review. Assessment will take place at the end of the semester. At this point each of the learning outcomes are considered in relation to the art works presented and in relation to the supporting portfolio (which should include support studies, accompanying documentation, visual journals and texts where appropriate).

 

Repeat Assessments

Students will be given repeat project briefs which will be issued at the end of the academic stage and submitted in the autumn.

ISBN 9780141035796 ISBN-13 014103579X

John Berger's Ways of Seeing changed the way people think about painting and art criticism. This watershed work shows, through word and image, how what we see is always influenced by a whole hose of assumptions concerning that nature of beauty, truth, civilization, form, taste, class and gender. Exploring the layers of meaning within oil paintings, photographs and graphic art, Berger argues that when we see, we are not just looking - we are reading the language of images.
