Assignment Outline
Intent
is a major factor in arts practice. There needs to be motivation to research,
experiment and develop your ideas.
Consider
a subject close to your heart – something you feel passionate about. A subject
that you feel people don’t understand or appreciate sufficiently.
Choose
a photographically based form of communication or storytelling that uses
devices like metaphor, allegory, collage, graphs, montage or a mixture of
media.
You
need an idea, a way of interpreting what you’re concerned with, and you’ll need
to develop your visualization through testing and experimentation. You may
initially have no idea what your images will look like or how they will be
formed. This is normal. More and more answers are revealed and the pathway
becomes clear through research and experimentation. You may go down a
particular path, hate the result and step back – that’s fine. Testing, experimenting
and communicating with your tutor will get you there in the end.
Discuss
your ideas with your tutor by phone or email then produce a statement of intent
of no less than 250 words. Email to your tutor for their comment (not approval
– this is your work and it’s your voice that matters). Produce a specific
research book for this work and send it with your assignment -- or start a new
page or tab on your blog.
Remember
that you’ll be assessed against your statement of intent which should state your
academic and practical intentions – what you’re going to do and why. It’s
important to stick to this once you’ve agreed it with your tutor – but you can
develop it further past what you set out to do.
Justify
everything you do – even printing on paper as opposed to fabric or metal.
Your
work should reveal the development of your ideas, your experimentation to make
visual decisions and the intellectual basis of your decision-making. Your work
should communicate effectively and produce the feeling or response you’re
aiming for.
Produce
a series of 10 images of minimum size 16x12”.
