Synopsis

This  unit  is concerned with building a practical foundation  in  the
areas  of  two-  and three-dimensional expression and  exhibition.  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 and Curatorial Studies.

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.
