SYNOPSIS:

This is the second course in which students develop concepts and skills, explore materials and processes through involvement in three studio workshops. Workshops will consist of lectures, demonstrations and practice. Studio drawing is an essential supportive element of this course. Studio workshops will be underpinned by the history and theory component of the program.


OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • develop additional handskills, knowledge of materials and their chosen application through practice in selected areas;

  • demonstrate increased understanding and application of design elements necessary for expanding perception and the quality of visual expression;

  • develop a broader understanding of the aesthetic and historical background to their prepared studies;

  • demonstrate increased ability to exercise personal creative potential through deeper involvement in chosen area/areas of practice;

  • further develop the ability to critically evaluate individual creative products and work by other artists.

    1. There will be continuing workshop-based demonstrations and related lectures. The art-making process will involve students in integrating appropriate theory and practice as they experiment with materials and techniques. Visual Arts students will enrol in three concurrent series of workshops reflecting their gradually narrowing focus. Option students will enrol in one or two concurrent series of workshops and will combine these with a personally designed project which will normally be related to one or both of the workshops.
