This module provides an opportunity for students to extend their existing artistic practice through studio-based experimentation. At the beginning of the module students are required to share examples of their previous practice with the group, building a critical community among the cohort. Through tutorials and group feedback sessions students learn to articulate the aims of their developing practice and constructively analyse the work of their peers: this discursive practice forms the central pedagogy of the course as a whole, and active student participation in these discussions is essential.

The development of new work is supported by technical workshops that encourage students to step beyond the bounds of their previous practice, finding innovative material forms for their evolving ideas. The concurrence of this module with either/both ARTD7XXX Critical Theory or/and ARTD7XXX Methods of Artistic Research (depending on their full or part time status) allows students to locate their practices with respect to key theories and methodologies of contemporary practice. At the end of the module, students exhibit their work publicly, this exhibition forms the core of the physical and/or digital portfolio by which they are assessed.

The emphasis of this studio-based practice module is on research and consolidation. The module is designed to work as an intermediary between the experimentation conducted during Studio Practice 1 and the independence of Final Project. Students have the opportunity to consolidate the new ground their work in the previous module revealed through a process of artistic research that should provide the foundations for their work both in this module, and the subsequent Final Project.

At this point in the course, students are allocated a supervisor whose expertise and interests are most appropriate to their practice. This member of staff becomes their main point of contact throughout the remaining two semesters. Students are supported by a combination of group feedback sessions and individual tutorials, with their supervisor and other members of the staff team.

Students are required to present their emerging research in a short presentation which forms 10% of their mark of the module. This is an intended both as a professional development opportunity to gain experience of public speaking relating to your practice, and an opportunity to consolidate thoughts and project potential future developments for the Final Project. At the end of the module students present their work publicly in an exhibition held in an external public venue, which once again gives them professional experience of working with public-facing arts organisations.
