Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should have developed a wide graphic visual vocabulary to serve and maximise their individual expressive needs; have developed their aesthetic sensibilities that enable them to critically determine imagery that bridges both historical and contemporary art; productively develop a wide variety of visual material and techniques relevant to all the areas within the various disciplines of the visual arts.

Synopsis This subject provides students of art and design with the opportunity to relate to a broader definition of drawing in relation to contemporary art practice, and encourages the student, through bold graphic experimentation, to maximise their capacity for individual invention and expression, in responding to a variety of natural forms. Students will work from the model, the still life and from nature.
