Unit Description

This unit enables students to build upon and refine art studio processes and techniques. The projects in this unit encourage students to form innovative visual responses through creative thinking and experimentation with different media. Students will be introduced to methodologies around practice based and practice led research. Drawing inspiration from local, national and international artists, students will be expected to locate their work within a broader conceptual and artistic context. In the presentations and critique sessions of each project, students are required to reflect on their own practice and that of other students in terms of concept, theoretical and historical reference, materials and processes. Critical analysis skills are also developed throughout the semester during seminars, lectures and class discussions.
