This course continues training in research principles and methods as they relate to practice-led research. Research writing modes and methods, studio investigative processes and methodologies, critical thinking and analysis are all extended. Students refine skills relevant to individual research projects and present a research portfolio to their peers and to staff in an Honours Seminar, explaining their choice of materials and methods, and situating their project in the wider field.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Explore materials and processes critically to demonstrate the ability to assemble and install/exhibit a coherent body of artworks.
- Explore materials and processes critically to create an
imaginative, focused and speculative body of artworks.
