About the Module

Mixed Media is always something I have been interested in. In school I loved all of my Art lessons and have always had a very create side to my practice.  When I first started thinking about ideas for this project i thought about, paintings and drawing as well as photography but after some research I have come up with a lot more ideas including sound and film too.

So the first thing I have to do for this project is decide on my percentages between my essay and practical work.  Personally I do not think essay's are my strongest point and think my stronger work is always my practical side so therefore I would like to have less words for the essay as I will find it easier. So for now I will stick with 50% written essay of 2500 words and 50% practical submission.  This may change throughout my ideas and as they develop because I may have a much stronger practical piece and change to 20% written essay of 1000 words and 80% practical work, and this is what I would feel more comfortable with.

For me to be able to achieve a good grade for this assignment I have to consider the learning outcomes for the project I will undertake.  I have to bare these all in mind throughout my work and make sure by the end, I can tick them all off.  Here are the learning objectives below.

Learning Objectives
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the significance of practice-based research within an historical and contemporary cultural context;
2. Demonstrate a focused and clear research topic defined in relation to theory/practice interchange;
3. Employ practice-based research methodologies and examine creative and innovative approaches for the communication and presentation of outcomes;
4. Examine, analyse and evaluate in presentation, written and practice based forms a chosen research area relevant to the Photography Programme;
5. Consider creative and innovative approaches to the communication of findings outcomes and conclusions.

I have a lot of ideas, research and inspiration to show towards the ideas I already have for this assignment.
