课程特征 Course Features
Collaborative professional practice
Art is often a fusion of ideas from many individuals, culminating in a group effort of innovation and creative flair. This emphasis on collaboration forms the basis of the MA Art Direction course, looking at the union between design and photography in areas such as studio still-life, fashion and interiors.
You will learn how to collaborate with art directors, work as part of a creative team, produce quality images, and develop skills in the management of styling, communication and presentation.
We offer a great variety of MA titles, but best of all we give you the opportunity to work in a truly transdisciplinary environment. NTU gives MA students their own designated space, where you can meet students from different subject areas and obtain information and support from an MA coordinator and administrator. This makes it easy for you to work with your fellow students, learning the skills of collaborative and inter-cultural sensitivity.

Course content
This modular MA is designed to offer a framework for advanced study and to develop core skills in a number of areas, including:
•research methodologies
•the professional and cultural contextualisation of work
•practical project experimentation and realisation
•critical and reflective evaluation.
All skills are developed as the course progresses, with the aim of preparing students for a major MA individual or group research project.
Modules are designed to encourage interdisciplinary working. The context and research module, for example, is delivered to the entire postgraduate community, thus giving students the opportunity to exchange ideas and analysis. This form of dialogue is crucial for the development of new thinking and new directions in art and design.
