Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should be familiar with and have an advanced understanding of contemporary theoretical and practical issues in sculpture; have an innovative approach to their work and an ability to experiment with and analyse the conceptual potential of 3D image-making; recognise aspects of their work worthy of forming a personal direction within the discipline; manifest this direction in the work produced; continue to practise safe workshop procedures.

Synopsis Studio practice is a continuation and extension of the skills and capabilities developed in the previous semester with special emphasis on developing students' individual direction and interests. Some projects are set but students are encouraged to engage in self-motivated tasks of their own invention. By this stage students' work should be conceptually and technically sophisticated and they should be capable of speaking critically about their work.
