Фолкстонский университетский центр, BA (Hons), Art (Contemporary Image Making)

Level 0: Students receive a foundation in the subjects to be covered. Level 1: Modules are aimed at developing the depth and range of the student’s visual literacy and their understanding of various techniques and processes; the student explores ways to express ideas and feelings, observe, analyse and communicate information and use their inventiveness to resolve problems; the student learns through a mixture of formal taught classes, studio and workshop inductions and individual tutorial guidance, all aimed at enabling them to respond to set projects in a more personal way. Level 2: With the help of specialist staff, the student can begin developing more advanced skills and strengthening their individual creative identity; 2nd year modules allow the student the scope to concentrate on working in ways that best suit their personal interests but they are always expected to clearly demonstrate their intentions through drawing, visual research and critical reflection and negotiation; during this year, the student may wish to negotiate a work placement in order to apply their skills in a different context. Level 3: By this level the student has a very clear idea of what genuinely interests them as a practicing artist; this allows them to embark on major project work that showcases the skills they have acquired and says more about the issues that drive their creative interests; level 3 culminates in a final major assessment in the form of a public exhibition.
