This course is designed for students who wish to explore the ways that different media and practices can be engaged to express creative ideas in visual art and craft whilst extending the application of particular techniques. This is a topic-based course with a menu of disciplinary pairings. Students will bring their own ideas to working across the course disciplines, guided by a course theme.
An Interdisciplinary approach enables students to extend their knowledge and skills in contemporary creative practice through contextual investigations, critique and reflection, informed by safe and culturally informed practices.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- extend the acquisition and application of skills and knowledge in response to thematic art and design projects;
- apply exploratory methods to discover, interrogate, and synthesise ideas and creative processes;
- use critical and reflective evaluation to develop concepts and workflows in the execution of self-initiated projects; and
- apply historical and theoretical contexts to inform, progress and express creative ideas in material and written form.
