Synopsis


Students undertaking the Honours course in Visual Arts will work in  a
specific studio area.  Its selection will be based on proven expertise
in  one  of the six areas offering specialization: ceramics, painting,
printmaking,   sculpture,   textiles,   drawing   provided    suitable
supervision  and studio  space  is  available. Studio practice  should
indicate  a  firm emergence of an individual visual language  as  well
as a high level  of technical and artistic competence.

Students  will submit a comprehensive project proposal outlining  both
the concept and practice of their particular interest.  The context of
their research is a significant factor.  This should take into account
personal   and   studio  positions  in  relation  to  Australian   and
international   concerns  with  appropriate  historical  underpinnings
linked  to  concepts  of  modern theoretical  thinking.   The  Project
Development  proposal should also include a selection of comprehensive
supportive drawings, photographs, marquettes, folios, etcetera of  the
work  in  progress  as well as an indication of the  final  exhibition
format.
