21 April – Research Skills for Visual Artists with Dr. Cherie Driver Belfast
Thurs 21 April, 2011 (10.30 – 16.30)
@ Belfast Exposed, 23 Donegall St, Belfast
The aim of the programme is to help participants develop a range of skills, which will assist them to work as freelance artists. The Research Skills topic will focus on three particular aspects:
§ Identifying funding, training and work opportunities
§ Develop coherent concepts and structuring a proposal
§ Reflexivity and articulating your own research process in terms of both open-ended projects and as part of a reflective review or report.
The programme will be delivered in a friendly lecture/seminar environment. Participants should if possible have some future possibilities or projects in mind. The course will be supported with a further information pack and list of resources and reading for the future. There will be space for discussion and questions.
