Objectives Upon successful completion of this subject, students should be able to show that they have developed a level of skill to express personal concepts through their chosen medium which would include painting, sculpture, printmaking, textiles and/or computer art; communicate verbally about their chosen medium and its visual outcomes; show that they are capable of incorporating various art processes as a means of visual expression; complete expressive works and have experienced the process of arranging these works at a public exhibition.
Synopsis This subject continues individual coursework, with demonstration and tuition by the lecturer-in-charge, in the technical and conceptual areas chosen by the student. Students will be required to interpret originally and investigate independently a personal theme using one or a combination of the materials and processes introduced in the previous subjects, resulting in the development of an individual, well-resolved practical folio which contains (1) original visual images, (2) selective and confident use of skills and techniques. Students will be expected to develop a folio of preliminary material, such as working and finished drawings, including computer-generated images, to accompany the finished works. The subject will include the critical analysis of art theory and practice through lectures and seminars, and excursions to galleries, schools and regional centres where appropriate.
