Subject Overview:

Building upon processes, experience, and knowledge gained in Drawing Studies 1 to 4 this subject emphasises the development of a sustained, systematic, art practice within an open studio situation. Thus it serves as an introduction to the Honours Year. Students are required to formulate an ongoing plan or outline from which they can initiate a focused body of work. While the work plan is not intended for assessment, its contribution to the focus and direction of proposed pieces is significant. The student is encouraged to develop a professional attitude, critical skills, and the ability to resolve problems independently. Participation in the professional practice classes is a further requirement. This provides the student with an opportunity for practical experience in making exhibition proposals, access to information on documenting artworks, constructing curriculum vitae and grant applications. The supervising lecturer may ask students to present material demonstrating an understanding of these topics. Students are expected to carry out research on the functions, procedures and contributions of various exhibition venues and their position within the local, national and international art arena.
