Portfolio Project
(30 CREDITS)

This module provides the opportunity to reflect on your training, both exploring individual subjects and thinking about how the learning from your various subjects inform each other. Using skills from across the degree programme, your portfolio will be a digital record of your learning that can also be used after graduation to showcase your skills, assisting with employability. The portfolio will be both a retrospective and reflective look at their training and development and a forward-looking study that explores career and study options that are open to the student. With your portfolio supervisor you will decide on specific topic / theme that will focus the project on your personal development and career aspirations. The format for the final portfolio will be unique to each student, including a variety of written work, video footage, possibly digital art, photography, and possibly spreadsheets. While the main focus can vary, the project should address the following three categories: 1. Reflections on modular and independent learning and how these connect to your holistic development as an artist (reflection) 2. A researched plan for their progress following graduation, demonstrating a clear path towards specific career or further educational goals (progress) 3. A collection of edited material that will support the above (showcase).
