PHOT311 is a full-year course with specific emphasis on the development of practice based research within the studio context, and will afford the student the opportunity to develop a large-scale body of work. In the first semester, students will be assigned the broad framework for a project plus a set of loosely prescribed outcomes. This framework will encourage experimentation and pushing at the boundaries of discipline conventions and / or established modes of working or thinking. In the second semester, students will negotiate a wholly individual course of study and appropriate learning outcomes with their studio lecturer in the form of a Directed Research Proposal (DRP.) The practical and theoretical components of this course are driven by student participation in group meetings, technical workshops, critiques, reading groups and written critical reflection assignments. Documentation of all work undertaken for the course is to be submitted for assessment alongside realised project outcomes.
