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.
