Teaching & Learning Strategies: Blended and E-Learning /Lectures /Class discussion/ screenings and class-based learning research activities. Blended learning strategies will entail the use of electronic platforms such as Blackboard to provide on- line learning materials and interactive question and answer sessions. Lectures will outline key issues, moving image art works etc. using audio visual and interactive methods as appropriate. Class discussions will encourage learners to further develop their communication skills. Weekly quizzes will facilitate recall and learner engagement. Article review or podcast/video review assignment will help embed knowledge. The project assignment will help apply learner understanding, analysis, evaluation and create new knowledge in the subject area.
Module Aim: This module serves to contextualize the way in which modern art & contemporary art practices have utilized the moving image through single screen projections, complex moving image installations, online platforms and downloadable apps. The module offers the learner a coherent analysis of how artists as experimental film/video makers have worked with film, video and digital technology in the 20th century and the first two decades of the 21st century. This will develop and expand learner's knowledge of modernism and contemporary art practices. The module examines how the moving image in a variety of art contexts approaches the relationship between sound & image, storytelling, or non-narrative experimentation often as a direct critique of mainstream cinema and television. While important figures in Europe and the US will be examined the course will also articulate the need for addressing evident imbalances of historical recognition in terms of gender, sexuality and race. To facilitate a more inclusive approach to learner knowledge the module will employ a comparative approach especially when exploring contemporary moving image practices. This module aims to develop learner awareness and confidence in applying interdisciplinary practices and strategies to their main studio elective. The module gives an expansive overview of the interrelated creative dialogue that takes place across a variety of practices in the arts.
