课程特征 Course Features：
The MA in Contemporary Arts is one of four taught postgraduate courses for artists, composers and interdisciplinary practitioners offered by the School of Arts at Oxford Brookes University. These interdisciplinary courses broaden awareness of cross-art-form concerns, question the boundaries of contemporary art practice, provoke shifts in perception and engender work with relevance to contemporary life. A concern for location, context and audience is central; all projects culminate in a public presentation or performance.
课程内容 Course Content ：
MA in Contemporary Arts students take two compulsory modules - Creative Strategies, and Research and Development - together with one of two elective modules and an appropriate Major Project.
•Creative Strategies is shared by all four MA courses. This module explores methodologies and strategies for generating contemporary and cross-art-form work, sonic art and musical composition, and social sculpture and related expanded art practices. You are encouraged to become aware of your working process as a creative practitioner and to understand the influence that certain methodologies and strategies have on the kind of work that you do. Through individual and collaborative practice-based work, staff-led seminars and feedback discussions, attention is focused on how we generate practice-based work. Strategies that encompass the intuitive, spontaneous, interventionist, discursive and analytical are employed, individually or in collaboration with others.
•Research and Development (taken by all MA students) provides the opportunity to identify an area of interest as a starting point for a process of investigation and speculation. You will develop project proposals through deliberate, rigorous and sustained research and exploration. The module emphasises practical research processes relevant to your concerns.
