REQUISITES

Pre-requisite: VIS1001 and Students must be enrolled in Program: BVAR

RATIONALE

This course provides the opportunity for the student to investigate and develop through an agreed thematic programme with relevant lecturers, the conceptual and theoretical processes which explore and extend visual art practice. These projects will demonstrate the integration of theory and practice. This is the first of five courses presenting students with opportunities for specialised, in-depth studio practice and related research projects in their chosen media.

SYNOPSIS

This course offers an extension to the workshops undertaken in VIS2002 Visual Arts Practice 1. The student will undertake project work set by each of the three studio lecturers with whom he/she is studying in order to further extend his/her skills and conceptual processes in these disciplines. These projects will be addressed concurrently throughout the semester with the student presenting for regular critiques of work in progress. This is the first of a sequence of courses presenting students with opportunities for specialized, in depth studio practice, related research projects and/or Gallery Studies.

OBJECTIVES

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

1.: successfully achieve levels of creative practice by undertaking project oriented studies in visual arts practice;
2.: achieve appropriate practical skills and levels of accomplishment, through the synthesis of theory and practice;
3.: attain increased capability for developing selective, individual programmes of creative investigation, together with a capacity for constructive self-criticism.
