Building on the range of studio practice components introduced in Studio Studies 1, students will be expected to demonstrate a higher degree of conceptual aesthetic and practical ability in their work and begin to establish a more consistent self-directed studio practice. At this level there is an emphasis on broader investigative and experimental working processes. Students are expected to develop a greater awareness of national and international art practice via individual and group discussion.

- begin to develop visual aesthetic sensibility;
- continue to establish foundations for a practical understanding and application of sound occupational health and safety practices.
