Content
Through considering notions of space and landscape, time and materiality students are given the opportunity to focus their practice through traditional media of painting and drawing and/or extend their practice to video and installation. This relationship between traditional and contemporary practices allows students to broaden their engagement with the materials and histories of art, while exploring different art making strategies. In response to a given assignment brief which will be explored through a series of media-handling workshops, students can elect to work towards different material outcomes and develop specific technical skills. In critical seminars, consultations and studio intensive weeks, students will be supported in the critical framing and production of their folio works in two major assignment briefs that explore the lived, projected, represented, temporal and contested notions of space. The aim of this unit is to find the balance of ideas and techniques so as to focus on developing particular skills and conceptual approaches that students can used to develop a sustainable arts practice in level 2 and 3 units.
