Students prepare a proposal for a year long studio project and its attendant critical and professional concerns. Emphasis is on consolidation of the experimentation and levels of enquiry initiated in the first year of the program. A focussed body of works will be developed over the year and emphasis will be placed on clarification of conceptual intent and working methodologies. A critical contextualisation of attendant aesthetic and professional issues will be addressed.
Guidance and assistance is provided through individual tutorials and a weekly studio seminar program. An Academic Advisor is assigned to overview the student's proposal and focussed development over the year.
