Critical Reflection Workshop

Postgraduate course

Course description

Objectives and Content

This module supports the development of the critical refection component of your master project. Exploring writing techniques and identifying key references and research questions, you work towards the completion of an outline of your final text. The application of citations and biographical information is a key activity.

REF310 connects to your master project and is further supported by the discourse and theory found in the elective PRO modules.

REF modules are designed to position your practice in relation to histories and theories of practice, incrementally building from understanding the terrain to defining it in relation to your own artistic activities. Professional practice is included through emphasis on how writing and word-based communication is used in professional contexts.
