Developmental Project II
School of Consciousness and Transformation TPM 7325 6.00
"Developmental Project, as a whole, identifies, in academic contexts, what the student artist does and, through practice-led exploration in the studio and rigorous academic writing, identifies how they do it. While the Production module offers a significant and immediate indication of the ideas of the student, Developmental Project allows space for longer-term thinking and, as such, reflects the business plan expected as part of the Professional Portfolio module. In Developmental Project 2, students work over an extended period to develop their reading, in relation to critical ideas emerging from Developmental Project 2, with the intention of writing an extended academic paper that shapes, defines and analyses their practice within an academic context. This is an important exercise, reflecting the likelihood of students' recognizing the value of an academic career in parallel with a creative artist career. " TPM student
