What this paper is about
Welcome to ARTSW302, a workrelated project paper in which any student studying for a BA or BMus is able to complete a university based project with a focus on a particular professional ecology connected to arts disciplines (employing relevant skills, practices, praxis and performance). Projects provide an opportunity for students to either reflect on key issues attached to the creative industries or simulate aspects of professional practice (e.g. professional writing, research, or creative practice).
The University of Waikato is equipped with professional venues, facilities and experienced staff who are able to mentor students in research and professional conduct associated with a broad range of arts practices (performance, praxis, and application of professional and research skills). Students will develop a project in which they will be able to reflect on professional work practices (e.g. writing for different audiences, researching different aspects of professional practice in the creative industries), or simulate a professional work task or event (e.g. organize an arts event or produce work for public consumption). Projects could involve practiceled and practice based research relating to particular processes, approaches, techniques, and applications of arts practice, knowledge, research and performance. ARTSW302 permits students to either research, or simulate workrelated practices associated with artsrelated vocations.
How this paper will be taught
There are no timetabled events for this paper, as it is individually supervised. The regularity and structure of supervision will be agreed with supervisor.
