Task 4d

I have practiced as an artist for over ten years and during this time I spent two years studying a Youth and Community course at Goldsmiths. Since completing the course in 2009 I have worked as a youth worker, learning mentor, teaching assistant and have organised and facilitated community art projects in my spare time.

My aim is to gain a BA with a title that will enable me to most affectively reach my goal of becoming an art teacher. I would like my title to also reflect my past experience and expertises’.

I am in the process of looking into undertaking a GTP Training Programme and therefore mindful that the BA title must enable me to do this.

I am really interested in reading what other people think about the three title options. I am hoping that the feedback I receive will help me with the process towards making the final proposal.          

The initial options for my BA award title are as follows:

1)     BA Hons Professional Practice in Visual Art Education

2)     BA Hons Professional Practice in Fine Art

3)     BA Hons Professional Practice in Community Arts Education.

Option 1

I feel that option one clearly expresses my intention of becoming an art teacher.

Option 2

This option captures the experience and expertise I have gained as an artist.

Option 3

This option includes the experience I have gained working in community arts and youth work projects.
