Investigating Place through Primary Research and Image Making

Overall Series explanation and aims: 

This research and image making focused series is designed for students from all  disciplines across OCA who have limited experiences gathering primary research  and using it in a creative way to develop exciting, dynamic and surprising  outcomes. The aim of the series is to introduce students to the importance of  primary research practices and methodologies to support any specialism as a way  of extending ideas, problem-solving and considering new ways of approaching  creative tasks.  

Each session will begin with a 15 - 20 minute introductory talk that provides  context, artistic references and links to contemporary fine art practices. The aim of  this project is for students to collect their own primary research and explore it  holistically through a wide range of practical processes. This will help demonstrate  the importance of analysis, careful observation and sustained investigation within  art making.
