Painting 4
This is a full academic year (24 weeks) course of intensive studio-based learning. This course focuses on the student’s ability to individually propose, frame, develop and execute a year-long practice-led research project. The student’s area of interest, intended body of work, and proposed methodologies are framed and articulated in the form of a Directed Research Proposal (DRP). A template for this will be provided to students and the depth, scope, and relevance of the proposal must be worked out under the direction of the supervising lecturer. Students of this course will engage in critiques and workshops, alongside reading groups and ad hoc studio-based conversations. While the times and formats for these are prescribed by the supervising lecturer, the content will be driven by the direction of the various students’ individual research projects. The focus is on the development of the student’s body-of-work alongside a comprehensive historical and contextual awareness for the practice with which they are engaged.
