Jan Fabre - 'Thinking Practices' (2009)

Thinking Practices is the Critical Studies programme that runs throughout Stage 1 of the Fine Art course.
It comprises two consecutive Modules: FAP 110 and FAP 111
During Thinking Practices, 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) FAP 110

• A self-directed essay or an extended crititique of an exhibition (2000 words - for submission after Easter) FAP 111 - 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 are expected to compile a research 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 Thinking Practices work. Information is also to be found on the University of Plymouth's Student Portal.
