Seminar II, Modes of Critique, builds on the knowledge and experience acquired in Seminar I, engaging with new readings and discussions with a particular focus on the concept of critique. What is the role of critique in the creative practitioner’s practice? Does the work of art itself have a role as a form of critique of the world at large? Not only will this course reflect on the nature of criticism, it will also apply these reflections to the practice itself; and through a process of constructive critique students will learn to situate their own work within contemporary cultural contexts, gaining deeper awareness of the discursive elements and histories that shape individual artistic choices.
