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. The basic processes and methodologies of printmaking are practiced in the early stages with concerns about clarity and expressivity of image as trace. Further proposals may combine techniques as a means to contextualise ideas. Printmakers are also encouraged to explore beyond the boundaries of paper, combining object or drawing to print or vice versa. It is essential that the Printmakers understand their position as artists and not as technicians; this quality would enable them to challenge the conventional notions that govern the intricacies between border and image. The elements of trace as evident as that which marks the world around them are essential philosophical conceptions, which allow the printmaker to re locate its traditional intent.

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.
