Description

This module aims to foster an independent approach to drawing as a means of visual expression in its own right. The module is designed to bring students from a project lead brief to a self sustaining drawing practice under the guidance of assigned lecturers. Contextualisation of historical and contemporary art practices is embedded within student drawing practice.

Learning Outcomes

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

1.

Have sustained and broadened drawing skills and creative approaches in a variety of applications and materials through visual journals.

2.

Have developed an individual approach and relationship to materials and working practices in respect of observational and conceptual drawing and are able to contextualise historical and contemporary artists and art practices.

3.

Have developed and implemented a series of research strategies that are then applied to studio projects and self-sustaining studio drawing practice.

4.

Have acquired a good standard of studio practice, participated and contributed to individual and group tutorials and have initiated and produced a body of drawing that demonstrates and articulates personal drawing skills, conceptual ideas, methodologies of research and understanding of outcomes.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A variety of teaching and learning strategies are engaged. These range from individual and group tutorials encompassing research methodologies, processing and utilisation. Practical demonstrations and workshops of materials, techniques and processes are included within the drawing room/studio context. Learning may also be supplemented by Field Trips and Visiting Artist Programme.

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.

Indicative Syllabus

ISBN 9781784530693 ISBN-13 1784530697

This is the third book in the innovative TRACEY series on contemporary drawing. Drawing Ambiguity builds upon its predecessors, Drawing Now and Hyperdrawing, by proposing that a position of ambiguity, a lack of definition, is not only desirable within fine art drawing but also necessary - having the capacity to enable and sustain drawing practices. What happens if we are ambivalent to what is a drawing, or what drawing is? Russell Marshall and Phil Sawdon bring together multiple perspectives from within and without the fine art drawing field to respond to these questions. Contributors include artist Ilana Halperin, artist-researcher Deborah Harty, artist and founder member of the group Underworld Karl Hyde, the creative collaboration Kreider + O'Leary, artist, writer Michael Phillipson, artist, academic Rob Ward, editors Marshall and Sawdon together with an Introduction by the artist, writer and curator Derek Horton.

ISBN 0870703625 ISBN-13 9780870703621

"The art of drawing flourished in the 1990s, and broke significantly from the tenets of twentieth-century modernism. Drawing Now: Eight Propositions surveys this new work, and shows drawing as no less adventurous and aesthetically satisfying than any of the more recent and seemingly more current methods of artmaking today. Carefully executed and highly finished, the drawings explored in this book - which accompanies an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art (in its temporary home in Queens, New York) in 2002-2003 - are largely representational and descriptive, sometimes with an interest in story-telling. Some show affinities with illustration, fashion, or comic strips; others are closer to industrial and commercial varieties of precision drawing, such as architectural plans and scientific renderings; still others take ideas from the traditions of ornament."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

ISBN 9781780762548 ISBN-13 1780762542

In hyperdrawing: beyond the lines of contemporary art, authors and artists come together to explore the potential of what drawing in contemporary art theory and practice might become. In this follow-up to 2007's drawing now: between the lines of contemporary art, Phil Sawdon and Russell Marshall, two of the current directors of TRACEY, curate contemporary drawing within fine art practice from 2006 through to 2010. Four essays and images from 33 international artists collectively explore the boundaries of the hyperdrawing space, investigating in essence what lies beyond drawing - images that use traditional materials or subjects whilst also pushing beyond the traditional, employing sound, light, time, space and technology. Over and above traditional views and practices, the authors and artists in this book recognise and embrace the opportunities inherent in the essential ambiguity of drawing. Practitioners of hyperreal works, 2D3D4D pieces and installations that push beyond photorealism all find their place within this new conception of hyperdrawing as techne, a productive space no longer limited by spatial boundaries.Artists including Catherine Bertola, Layla Curtis, Garrett Phelan, Suzanne Treister and Ulrich Vogl alongside the essays of Emma Cocker, Siun Hanrahan and Marsha Meskimmon provide a contemporary view in both visual and written form of how ambiguity can be used as a strategic approach in drawing research and practice. A gallery in book form, hyperdrawing takes drawing beyond the interaction of pencil and paper and traces contemporary adventures in multiple dimensions and alternate realities.
