This course introduces students to a variety of approaches for independently generating, developing and evaluating creative works including visual and digital artworks, digital productions, decorative arts, crafts and design projects. By analysing and evaluating creative works, students will develop an individual point of view in relation to their own work and the work of others. In addition, students will explore contexts in which discussion about creative works takes place; these include art and digital media history and criticism, decorative arts, craft and design forums, curatorial practice, marketing and promotion. The course is delivered as a five day intensive during the early weeks of semester and involves students in lectures, critique sessions, small group discussion, area specific tutorials and seminar paper presentation.
