This 2nd year module was established to give students a greater appreciation of the realities of creative practice by providing an opportunity to practice fine art alongside their art-historical studies, including an introduction to printmaking. The module aided the development of a personal visual language, encouraging students to look for new directions. Opportunities for formal sessions and structured guidance were available, whilst students developed an independent artistic practice and an awareness of the nature of creative and technical artistic processes.
