STUDY

This module provides the opportunity to explore the competencies, knowledge, skills and attitudes that reflect evolving standards with which you will investigate the implications of ethical issues and sustainability for the future of their sector, as well as their own professional practice. Emphasis will be placed on the role of the arts and the artist; the issues, vision for the future, capacity to change/evolve, to think critically and act responsibly; equally, the art form may be used as a means of communication for ethical/sustainability issues.

This module concerns all stages of the research, planning and completion of a dissertation that comprises three separate sections. It includes the completion of an identification grid for a range of study materials, and a presentation on the range and scope of the proposed discussions; including discussion of methodologies and a suggested layout. The topics for your study will be negotiated with the module leader and the module contributor(s) specializing in that art form.

The major project represents the single major body of work in your Honours year, and an opportunity to carry out the roles of an arts practitioner. The outcomes of the project can be expected to vary widely according to the nature of the specialism, but should in all cases show evidence of appropriate research, creative thinking, project planning and development, effective interaction/teamwork/management, using appropriate techniques, technologies and methodologies, in addition to applying – and responding to - critical judgment.
