コース内容: This programme cultivates a teaching and learning methodology that values artistic practice. It strives for a balance between contemporary art practices within students own socio-cultural milieu and theoretical discourses around it. The programme also underscores the beliefs that through studio experimentation and innovation, it is the role of the artist in research that generates and produces individual self-discipline, knowledge and discoveries that is pertinent to the realisation of artistic language/vocabulary. Students will acquire knowledge of the comprehensive critical, theoretical and historical discourses that inform contemporary artistic practice. Students will receive quality education through rigorous training that integrates research and practice, develop their abilities to conceptualise creatively, reflect upon the practice, and grow their individual and collaborative skills. The programme is delivered through a range of learning approaches that include lectures, workshops, seminars, group discussions and critiques, student presentations and individual tutorials. These approaches support the Masters candidates as they work towards a Final Research Project comprising of an exhibition of artworks and a supporting document in the form of an exegesis. Candidates are expected to be self-motivated, to engage in independent visual and theoretical research, as well as to develop the ability to evaluate their own work and to expand their awareness the critical developments in contemporary art. Photographic methods and processes in the initial stage of the Studio Practice cover aspects of digital and analogue photo techniques, imagery and composition, to give an initial firm grounding. Students will propose independent projects at a later stage, contextualising appropriate methodology and imagery to the realisation of conceptual concerns. The emphasis on the pathway is to generate any understanding of photography as a fundamental of the 21st century society of images and the changes it has brought about to the human perception of space and time. Students are encouraged to create original and exciting works that explore diverse aspects of the contemporary experience such as the post-modern representation of memory and time.

入学条件: Students must have completed a bachelor's degree and demonstrable ability to pursue discourse and research in contemporary issues in fine arts.
