 * Mid Point Review **

MA Visual Arts (Digital Arts) Full Time students 2010-11:

Tuesday 1 March – 10.30am – basement studio Wilson Road

All part time and full time students to attend & participate in student-led discussion.

The Mid Point Review is a chance to reflect upon for your professional practice and learning development so far in Unit 1. This is one part of the assessment for Unit 1 and you are assessed on your presentation AND your contribution to the discussion.

4 things will happen:

1. You need to ‘curate’ your work and research. Select a piece of work and/or research that is part of your project proposal (in development or completed) and display it in the basement studio, or on a computer, or use the projector. (make sure you get there early to set everything up)

2. You will talk about your work for no more than 5 minutes. You can make a video if you prefer, or read a statement while showing your work. 5 minutes is not long so please prepare carefully.

3. For 25 minutes there will be a student-led group discussion about your work. (When it is someone else showing their work you will take part in the discussion about their work, you are assessed on how much you contribute to this discussion so please prepare carefully.)

4. While the group is discussing your work, you will NOT be allowed to speak, you can only listen, even if they don’t understand your work, and take notes.

Preparation

2 things you should do to prepare:

1. Write your 5 minute presentation or make a 5 minute video - this must be posted on your blog by Sunday 27 February

consider these 2 points when writing or making your video:

• Evaluation of my project proposal as a part of a self directed programme of study (here you raise questions or issues that you would like people to discuss)

• Where I need to develop study plans in relation to the Unit 1 Learning Outcomes

Unit 1 Learning Outcomes (page 43 of the handbook): • Develop your Project Proposal to plan a challenging and self-directed programme of study • Demonstrate a critical engagement with practice-based research and contribute actively to debate and discussion • Articulate a clear understanding of the methodology and context of your creative practice in both written and verbal forms

2. on Monday 28 February - read or watch all the other presentations so you are ready to take part in the discussion during the MPR on Tuesday 1 March.
