Printmaking studio 4

12 points - 9 studio hours and 15 independent study hours per week - Second semester - Caulfield - Prerequisites: FNA1401 and FNA1402 - Corequisites: None - Core for printmaking major

Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should be familiar with and demonstrate a critical understanding of contemporary theoretical and practical issues in printmaking; have an innovative approach to their work and an ability to experiment with and analyse the potentials of image-making and visual language; recognise aspects of their work that are worthy of forming a personal direction within the visual art practice; manifest this direction in the work produced; and continue to practice safe workshop procedures.

Synopsis Studio practice is a continuation and extension of the advances gained in the previous semester with special emphasis on developing students' individual directions and interests. Some projects are set both in practical work and in reading and research but students are encouraged to engage in self-motivated tasks of their own invention. By this point, students' work should be conceptually and technically sophisticated and they should be capable of speaking critically about their work.
