Essential info about project content and approach to work
Not discursive or analytical
Clearly state the question, what are you trying to find out
Explain why this is important/ why is it interesting
How are you going to investigate it key primary and secondary methods, research and practical
What is your own individual position why is this important
Exploring protest art as a tool for community and younger audiences/ its impact on children/ how they can be part of the movement
Explain the importance of children having a voice in future society and being able to articulate and understand important topics/ importance of community workshop for those in need
Briefly explain, my three key methodologies, theory, first hand lessons, analysis of work, personal practical development of work
I have chosen this because I have creative interests in visual arts and design/ imagery to express message but also have an interest in social change - protest art brings these together and passing these tools down to young people spreads this movement and the idea of using art to make your voice louder/ have a wider impact in society
Children are specifically important in spreading a message of social change as they often speak with clear yet positive naivety that is hard to argue with. I will analyse this in more detail in the context of my case study
Chapter 2 context and themes 2000 words
Key theory in my chosen topic
Focus on specific points woven together to build into an argument
Explain the relevance of all the material cited to your central question and your practical research methods
Mini conclusion that links to next chapter
Harvard referencing throughout
teaching theory intro all three
focus on humanist explain petty etc
specific example a s neils humanist school
why is this a good teaching theory to use for my specific project
Chapter 3 case studies 1500 words
How have I used critical theory in the above chapter to evaluate work from my own subject discipline and demonstrate an understanding of synthesis between theory and practice
Critical analysis of pieces of work
Case study of other art educators? (Rob and Roberta Smith?)
Case study of the lessons I planned
How has first hand experience reflected aforementioned theoretical research
discuss why I planned them this way and bring in theory, icedip/ petty/ educational theory
Discuss the way I planned work visually (collage/language) by bringing in visual analysis eg bob and Robeta
Discuss the way children responded verbally to social issues and how this relates more widely to protest art movement / why this is important
evaluate the success of these lessons and the success of the children’s outcomes
How do my first hand experiences of teaching synthesise with my primary research
What have I learned personally from these lessons and what impact had this had on the understanding of my topic
How does the childrens work demonstrate the research points I have made
Mini conclusion
Chapter 4 reflective practice 700 words
Descriptive analysis of the practical work produced
Theoretical and contextual analysis of the practical work explaining the relevance of the work, how it relates to your question and how it has furthered my understanding and knowledge of my research topic
analyse visual devices and tools used by students - how and why am I bringing this into my own practice and developing it
How did I develop and change my working practice to suit a community workshop and primary children - why did i do this (relate this to teaching theory)
Discuss how my work changed after first hand case study working with children and in schools
How has school work impacted my ability to make work that interacts with a young audience more successfully and create a new and individual approach to protest art
What are the main visual themes that stand out in my final body of practical work and why
Chapter 5 conclusion
Pull together all preceding research and draw an independent conclusion that answers the research question
No new information introduced
indicate the implications that these findings have for your own subject discipline
A paragraph evaluating the successes and/or shortcomings of your research project. This should include an extended discussion of the extent to which your research body successfully synthesises theory and practice.
Basic plan :
- Intro
- Theoretical research on teaching (petty) and protest art / its importance (bob and roberta)
- Community art case studies
- The planning and teaching of the lessons and how I have applied the theoretical research and visual research
- How have I used and adapted my own practice to deliver these lessons (typography, simplification)
- The success of the outcomes how do they back up the research and what conclusions can we draw first hand about children's comprehension and visual language
- How can this be carried over into my own work so as to maximise my ability to communicate with a younger audience/ why am i doing this (relate back to question)
- Could this way of working also have more impact on an older audience?
- What are my outcomes how do they relate back to the question
- conclusion
