Objectives Upon successful completion of this subject, students should be able to demonstrate continued development in their design, drawing and computer skills and their further development in sculpture and printmaking. Students who selected printmaking should have investigated block printing and silkscreen methods such as Riso, hydrograph and polychromatic techniques on paper, fabric or collage. Sculpture students should investigate freestanding and relief constructions, kinetics, treatment of the sculptural surface and installation practices. Students should have further developed an understanding of relevant terminology and become familiar with a wide range of literature and theory. Students should have further investigated and experimented with current trends in their chosen media and should have independently investigated a personal theme, leading to one or two finished works.

Synopsis Students will have the opportunity to develop conceptual and technical skills in printmaking or sculpture. Students will be expected to continue to develop drawing and design expertise, including computer skills. The subject will include research on art theory and practice through lectures and seminars, excursions to galleries and schools, leading to developing strategies and activities for general classroom application.
