Requisites
Pre-requisite: Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: BCAH or MARA or MSTA
Rationale
BCA8004 allows students to further advance and finalise their individual discipline study from BCA8003. This course allows the student researcher to finalise the critical reflection of where they position their creative works within established theoretical and practical models providing a context for understanding for the student鈥檚 creative field of expertise.
Synopsis
Students are able to finalise advanced research, both practical and theoretical, within both a practice-led (developing skills and understanding of practice through intensive studio work on an individual project) or theoretical (developing conceptual skills and understanding of research through intensive work on an individual project based on theoretical outcomes) pathway. Both options are directly related to, and complement the research undertaken and finalised in HMT4002 Honours Dissertation B.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- explore a highly individual and developed range of professional/studio research skills and or research methodologies situated in the creative arts;
- exercise critical, creative thinking and judgment to identify and solve intellectual problems independently related to the finalisation of the studio or theoretical research;
- demonstrate an advanced knowledge of the historical, ideological, critical, and ethical perspectives/discourses in the creative arts, in traditional, hybrid and contemporary cultural and social contexts;
- communicate through a clear presentation and articulation of complex knowledge and ideas related to the finalisation of the studio or theoretical research.
