Module code
BMABT201
Module title
Generative Practice
Prescription
This module expands on students existing knowledge of drawing and experimentation into the concept of generative practice. Students examine various methods of production and modes of enquiry that they may adopt for future practice in contemporary Art. Students examine the contexts in which such practices arise.
Students test a selection of generative practices, then undertake a more sustained enquiry to produce a resolved body of work.
