Here are the learning outcomes for Unit 2
Learning Outcome 1
Develop and realise a self-directed programme of learning which draws from wide-ranging subject knowledge.
Throughout this term I have been involved in a range of projects that have shaped my practice, strengthened my skills, and widened my understanding, particularly in relation to curation, organisation, social sculpture and photography.
Examples of evidence:
Coordinating and co-curating The Right Map
This project enabled me to develop organisational and planning skills, as well as experience working with artists at different stages of their careers. Supporting their needs and practices required adaptability and critical thinking. Collaborating with two groups, Ghost Art School and Liverpool Independents Biennial, taught me how different communities operate and how to facilitate meaningful collaboration between them.

Developing Dear Moon
Producing the first Dear Moon book independently challenged my technical abilities and pushed me to integrate visual communication, editing, and collaborative authorship. Now, I experimented with new photography techniques and have already identified plans for the next stage of development. Over the past few months, I have also created a website and set up several writing spaces to collect more letters.

Work in social sculpture and community-based sessions
Alongside my socially engaged sculptures, such as: the hand-communication box and the ceramic tableware, I’m also leading collaborative sessions that demonstrate my understanding of communication barriers, accessibility, and participatory art. These experiences continue to refine my approach to socially engaged practice.

Learning Outcome 2
Articulate a thorough understanding of your research and establish an informed critical position.
My research has centred on social sculpture, exploring its histories, contemporary interpretations, and how these ideas translate into my own practice. Throughout Unit 2, I have applied this research both theoretically and practically.
Examples of evidence:
Research paper: Rethinking Social Sculpture
This paper forms the core of my theoretical development this term.

A divergent section cut from the paper and extra reading
This demonstrates my ability to critically expand an idea beyond the academic structure of the essay.

Engagement with social sculpture discourse
Mapping how my work situates itself within wider debates around participation, authorship, and collective making is important. For example, The Right Map and At The Library demonstrate how I have applied my research in genuine collaborative and community-based contexts. They also carry a real sense of meaning for me, reflecting what Joseph Beuys was attempting to achieve through his concept of social sculpture and the Free University he established.

Learning Outcome 3
Analyse and critically reflect on your practice and its context.
Critical reflection has been central to my practice in Unit 2. I have looked honestly at my working processes, recognising my strengths, identifying emotional and environmental challenges, and understanding how external pressures shape my pace, focus, and methods. The 1-to-1 tutorials played a key role in helping me articulate these reflections..
Examples of evidence:
1-to-1 tutorial with Jonathan
Reflecting on sensitivity, stress, and the rhythm of my work, and how these elements influence both process and outcome.

Contextual reflections on exhibitions
For example The Right Map and Emma Rushton’s house exhibition. These reflections reveal how my political and social concerns manifest in material choices, spatial decisions, and audience interaction.
Together, these reflections show how I critically evaluate my practice, understand its cultural and social context, and use this analysis to guide my next steps.

Critical decision-making
I have consistently reflected on what strengthens my practice and what does not, evaluating methods, approaches, and outcomes and considering what truly serves the work.
