SYNOPSIS:

Creating  artworks is a fundamental component of practical studies  in
the   Visual  Arts.  In  this  unit  students  in  consultation   with
supervisors,  select 6 workshops which range across available  studios
and media. Workshops consist of lectures, demonstrations, and practice
conducted each week. Drawings will accompany projects/folios submitted
in  each workshop. Practice will be underpinned by associated units in
history and theory.

OBJECTIVES:

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

1. acquire handskills, knowledge of materials and their
   application through practice in selected areas;
   
2. increase an understanding of design elements necessary for
   expanding perception and the quality of visual expression;
   
3. greater understanding of the aesthetic and historical
   background to their preferred studies;
   
4. exercise personal creative potential through deeper
   involvement in chosen areas of practice;
   
5. develop an ability to critically evaluate individual creative
   products and work by other artists. In addition, students will
   have increased personal experience of methods, procedures and
   approaches possible in the production of works.
