| From
September 2009 the Fine Art Programme at University of Plymouth will
be offering the BA Hons. Fine Art as a 6 year Part Time Route with
biennial recruitment. This course is particularly suited to those
students who have family, work or other responsibilities which prevent
them from committing to a full-time course and who are able to effectively
manage their own time around the required attendance schedule. Attendance will be 1 day per week for scheduled workshops, tutorials, group crits. and seminars. Students will be expected to provide their own studio spaces at home or other appropriate location, as individual studio space is not provided by the Faculty. Part-time students will have full access, equal to that of full-time students, to all Faculty project spaces and workshop facilities including Painting, Sculpture, Drawing, Digital Photo, Photo Darkrooms (B&W and Colour), Sound, Moving Image, Metal, Wood, Printmaking and Textiles. You will take exactly the same module options as the 3yr Full-Time route but over twice the time. Each stage of the course will build towards the BAHons Fine Art Degree Award but will be certificated at each stage: • Stage 1 (yrs 1&2) UoP Certificate in Fine Art • Stage 2 (yrs 3&4) UoP Diploma in Fine Art • Stage 3 (yrs 5&6) BA Hons. Degree in Fine Art • Stage 1 is designed to offer you a critical framework and models for your practice which will enable you operate with increasing confidance and self-reliance. You will be introduced to a range of practical and theoretical possibilities through a series of modules based around areas of process and practice. These are supported by a programme of critical studies lectures and tutorials. You will also have the opportunity to participate in field trips in the UK and abroad. • In Stage 2 you will be introduced to Negotiated Studio Practice in which you take increasing responsibility for the shape and direction of your work, supported by practice-based tutorials and seminars, and a regular theory seminar programme exploring key ideas in relation to contemporary Fine Art practice. The final Stage 2 module will culminate in a Public Exhibition of your work alongside that of full time students. • In Stage 3 the process of Negotiated Studio Practice continues and you will be expected to further refine and shape the form of your practice towards the development of a personal philosophy, supported by the team of studio staff. In addition, with tutorial guidance, you will be expected to complete a written thesis which develops the conceptual and theoretical underpinning of your studio practice. The course culminates in a major Public Exhibition of your work alongside that of full-time students which forms the basis of the final assessment of the BA Hons Fine Art Degree Award. |
