Signposts
is the Critical Studies programme that runs throughout Stage
1 of the Fine Art course.
It comprises two consecutive Modules: FIAR 160 and FIAR 163
|
During
Signposts, students attend a regular lecture programme, are
given seminars to help develop critical writing, research and
presentation skills, given opportunities for discussions and
debate and are set two writing tasks:
• A crititique of an exhibition (1500 words - for submission
after Christmas) FIAR 160
• A self-directed essay or an extended crititique of an
exhibition (2000 words - for submission after Easter) FIAR 163
- After students have completed this second task they are
asked to make a short, assessed presentation of some aspect
of their research for their writing.
For each module students also compile and submit an Art Journal
which comprises lecture notes (their own); research for their
critical writing and any other relevant material.

The teaching material on these webpages (see
links on left) is currently under development with the aim of
assisting students in their Signposts work. Information is also
to be found on the University of Plymouth's Student Portal. |
