  8. Semester 1 Mini-Programme Themes Andrea Peach From Here to Modernity Lesley Scott Turning to Beauty

  9. From Here to Modernity(Modernism. Yes, But.) tutor: Andrea Peach What was modernism all about and what interest (if any) is it to artists, architects and designers today? Has modernity endured and in what form? What does it really mean to ‘be modern’? The Titanic - Photomontage Stanley Tigerman, 1978, USA This programme will look at the ongoing impact of Modernism on contemporary art, design and culture and consider its relevance to 21st century practice. We will revisit key images and texts in twentieth century modernism, and look at its ongoing influence in today’s post postmodern society.

  10. Turning to Beauty Tutor: Lesley Scott Theory is turning once again to beauty and aesthetics and this programme provides an opportunity to consider both old and new ideas. The programme begins by examining beauty in different times and places and concludes by reviewing its current position in contemporary culture and practice. • Key questions are: • What is beauty, how might you create it and is it the same for everyone? • Why was beauty rejected in 20th century fine art practice? • What is contemporary beauty and is it of value in art and design practice? • If beauty was the old aesthetics, of what could a ‘new aesthetics’ consist?
