Pre-requisite: Nil
This unit is concerned with building a foundation of art work processes. By exploring the materials and practice methods essential to these media, students will be encouraged to develop their individual creative potential, evolving positive attitudes for future involvement in the making of two and three-dimensional art works. The unit will provide opportunity for initial practice in the following two-dimensional studio/workshop areas: Painting, Printmaking, Drawing, and the following three-dimensional studio/workshop areas: Sculpture, Ceramics, Textiles. Studio practice will be reinforced by lectures and discussion, analysing the work of established professionals, increasing student insight into concepts expressed visually in all aspects of studio practice and will be underpinned by history and theory lectures in associated visual arts units.
