AHT4504 · Advanced fine art research: Writing

Overview

Designed as a flexible unit, with an innovative small-group mode of delivery that enables the unit content to be student-led. It is specifically designed to enable you to contextualise your own creative practice in theoretical terms. With an emphasis on creative and critically aware approaches to visual production, the unit aims to open up and consolidate research avenues that may be particularly productive for your individual personal directions.

Assessment

The Handbook does not list a final examination among the assessment items. That is not a guarantee there is none.
