Assignment Brief
Context
Art today needs to address how the visual world beyond art comes to shape
any resemblances of the world, and photographic images are central to this,
active across every sphere of contemporary life. Through strategies of
dissemblance, art photography questions these resemblances and
sometimes turns them inside out, using the very same apparatus that
created them. Photographic interventions in art are multiple and diverse,
eclectic even, and art is unthinkable now without them.
David Bate Art Photography
Rationale
Brief
For this project we ask you to experiment with photography, exploding the
image through a variety of means, exploring time, the wrecked and accidental
image as well as the installation and experiential possibilities of the photograph
as object and as ephemera. While we begin with a core of both digital and
analogue technical workshops, and the notion of effective documentation
around photographic practices in the wider environment, we will be conscious
of how our photographic skills can support more experimental practices.
We ask you to develop your own ideas through playful enquiry and to explore
thematic that are of interest to you in developing small and more extended
projects as we introduce and practice photographic and experimental
techniques both in class and independently. We ask you to document your
experiments and reflect critically on how they could be useful to you in making
your work and expressing your ideas. We ask you to use an appropriate
combination of any of the techniques you have learnt to present a project which
expresses your personal vision around a self-developed thematic. This will
inform process led research that becomes your formative assessment.
You will also be working collectively toward developing and delivering a site
specific intervention with the exploded image. This outcome will be transitory
and the process of its evolution will engage you in collaboration as a small
group, shaping a creative vision and experience of photography. This
component will become the summative assessment. Engaging audience
becomes an integral facet of our professional development and multifaceted
communication skills will be well challenged. Youll be expected to use
technical skills nurtured through workshops and independent study to render
transitory work as superb visual and technical documentation.
Through a series seminars and workshops, you will be introduced to a
variety of advanced photographic skills, techniques and processes. These
will give you a strong technical foundation for practice, covering image
capture, post-production and finishing. You will be required to work to safe
and professional standards, ensuring you continue your understanding of
all elements of risk assessment, COSHH assessment and awareness of
equipment safety. This module develops the practical skills of your 1st year.
