Omschrijving Onderwijsorganisatie (tekst)

Working studio, guidance from advisors or mentors. Students work independently and are individually followed. Students' projects are discussed individually or in groups.

Omschrijving Doelstellingen

Together, the Master’s exam project for 9 credits and the Master’s exam project for 21 credits comprise the entire Master’s project, aimed at generating visual artists and designers able to coordinate, structure and execute their own visions or ideas.

In the project for 9 credits the emphasis lies on the preparation, the starting-up and the development of the artistic process in the Master’s project.

In the project for 21 credits, students demonstrate their ability to complete an original work of art or design in a personal and independent manner.
This work must reflect a creative and critical approach to the medium or media selected and to visual art in general.
Students’ achieved skills ensure that they can complete a work possessing sufficient qualities to withstand confrontation in the field of art or design and demonstrate independent artistic practice at the level of beginning researcher, designer or artist.

For their projects, students select one of the specialist areas in the Master’s programme: Photography, Graphic Design, Multimedia Design, Fashion Design, Textile Design or Fine Arts.

Omschrijving Inhoud

Thematic, in-depth, investigative and focused on completion of the Master’s programme

The Master’s project is an artistic final exam project comprising two components that directly affect one another:
A) The development of visual work, a process crystallized and made permanent in visual work presented in the form of an exhibition or presentation with a public character.
The cornerstone of this process is work in the studio, supported by substantive examination of issues or questions being formulated and researched.
Students will independently complete a work of art.
The working process is supported by:
- reflection on one's own work and using these reflections to help guide the work
- making judgments and decisions in an uncertain context
- research aimed at expanding knowledge and insight by stimulating originality and creativity in the visual arts
- artistic, professional standards of working in a multidisciplinary environment

B) A record of the working process
Both parts of the Master’s project are followed in a single working log or journal.
The working log is intended as a permanent report. It is the record of the work conducted in the context of the Masters’ programme.
In as clear writing as possible, it should comprise and transparently document all the factors relevant to the development through which the visual work has evolved.
This document consequently relates the acquisition and relevance of artistic choices, thematic references, plastic development, theoretical concepts, consulted reference material and so on.
The extent and the form of this record depend on the chosen area of the Master’s exam project.

Omschrijving Begincompetenties (tekst)

- the ability to present and explain one's own visual work
