Subject Overview:

This subject sees the further extension of intensive studio and workshop practice. Students are required to develop a self-initiated body of work, focusing upon experimentation. Students are expected to develop independent work strategies and a rigorous practice with steady output. In consultation with staff, students are encouraged to further expand their own program by bringing a greater level of critical evaluation to the conceptual, aesthetic and technical considerations in their work. Students are required to articulate, discuss and analyse their work in regular individual and group tutorials and to be familiar with the historical precedents and contemporary influences that inform their work. Classes in photographic technical processes will be extended through practical assignments. Students should continue to sample all the technical processes available in the department.
