This unit is concerned with building a practical foundation in the areas of two- and three-dimensional expression. By exploring a variety of methods and materials students will be encouraged to develop their technical, conceptual and observational skills. Studio practice will be supplemented with project work which will be undertaken in the two-dimensional disciplines of Drawing, Painting and Printmaking and in the three-dimensional disciplines of Ceramics, Sculpture and 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.
