Talking About Art Online Short Course

On the Talking About Art Online Short Course, students explore the language used to describe Contemporary Art and the potential to introduce personalised vocabulary to develop new, exciting and illuminating responses when describing and writing about artworks. Through group discussions and reflective evaluation, this online short course makes accessible the sometimes intimidating sphere of critical theory, to help students to find their voice and build confidence in discussion situations. By the end of the course students will have: • Developed critical thinking skills in a practical context • Begun to construct their own artistic vocabulary • Built confidence in discussing contemporary art practice • Expanded their creative network • Written a short artist statement/critical reflection
