Assessment method
The assessment process for the MA in Creative Arts is structured to provide opportunities to showcase both practical and theoretical development. They're also designed to reflect a variety of real-world industry activities, offering you the flexibility to choose components that align with your preferred learning style or support your chosen career path. You will have the opportunity to develop your creative, critical, and professional skills in assessment that may include: • A substantial creative project, such as a performance, exhibition, or a fixed media output (e.g., a film, image portfolio, or music EP). As the course progresses, this creative work becomes more ambitious, reflecting students' evolving skills and artistic vision. • A 4,000-word essay (or equivalent) contextualising their creative work, articulating their personal creative vision, and critically analysing the work through comparative practice with relevant practitioners or art forms. • A reflective practice diary documenting their creative process, which will be submitted via a microsite on the University of Lincoln's WordPress platform. • A professional press pack, a funding bid application for an artistic project, or a PhD proposal. • A 20-minute presentation to an assessor panel, in which students critically analyse their professional field and explore entrepreneurial opportunities to fund or monetise their creative practice.
