Subject Overview: |
This subject will explore how young people create their social and personal identities through artistic media, and use these processes to relate to peers and society. A combination of tutorials, studio workshops, online discussions and 'street research' will allow participants to investigate trends in young people's use of the arts to develop and express individualities, and then create an 'artefact' using the arts to illustrate understandings gained regarding these trends. Learning will be reinforced by cultural site visits and focused coursework. Student understanding of youth arts will be contextualised through investigations into the companies, organisations and individuals who provide or facilitate performance and artistic products for young people. |
