Develop your practice and extend your knowledge of critical practices, theories and discourses of contemporary art

  • Group tutorials with peer review & written feedback
  • Research & creative practice workshops
  • Off-site visits to articulate aesthetic judgements
  • Writing workshops to develop statements, proposals & reviews

By the end of the course participants will have a critical awareness of contemporary art, with a road map and toolbox of methodologies, skills and resources for their continuing practice and the confidence to pursue it independently.

The course is open to everyone but it is particularly suited to those who have a background in art, and wish to contextualise their practice and extend their knowledge.
