VIS1000 Option Foundation (FOART)

Units 1.0 (Visual Arts and Crafts) Band 1

Synopsis

This course is concerned with building a practical foundation in three studio disciplines to be chosen from the two-dimensional areas of Drawing, Painting and Printmaking, and the three-dimensional areas of Ceramics, Sculpture and Textiles. By exploring a variety of methods and materials students will be encouraged to develop their observational, technical and conceptual skills. Studio practice will be reinforced by history/theory lectures/content analysing the work of established professionals and supplemented with project work enabling concepts to be better expressed in visual terms. Progressive individual critiques will be held by 2D staff and by 3D staff at designated times.
