To be advised| Subject Overview: | This foundation subject aims to introduce students in visual media to various media, art-historical traditions, professional practices (museum curating/art criticism/international opportunities), and theoretical positions. Through this they will develop a critical self-awareness about their own visual media practice and an understanding of the issues and contexts that inform visual media practice and theory at an international level. Through a combination of workshops, group critiques, lectures, and gallery visits the student will explore the contemporary visual world and will challenge conventional ideas about the theory and practice of visual media production. The course provides a foundation for cross-disciplinary work in visual media, and within that context develops an intellectual framework that encourages students to investigate ideas as art. |
