This internship with available arts institutions and professional practitioners in and potentially beyond the ACT is designed to provide the student with practical insights into the activities and the workings of a professional studio practice. The specific nature of the contact work will depend on the requirements of the supervisor, who may include artistic directors, studio managers, professional artists/designers/craftspeople, registrars, art educators and learning and access programmers. The internship aims to provide an opportunity for preparation towards a career in art, craft and design. It is supported by an academic supervisor who is a specialist in the internship area. Enrolment in this course is subject to the approval of the course convenor and an agreed internship placement, negotiated between student, convenor and host organisation.
Where the internship involves travel outside of Canberra (including to other parts of the ACT), students will only be permitted to undertake this internship upon completion of ANU required travel documentation and the approval of all travel documentation by the relevant delegate.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- participate in the workings of professsional art, craft and design practice in co-operation with specialist staff;
- work co-operatively and professionally as part of a team, taking a leadership role when required, and constructively contributing to peer learning wherever possible;
