Related Studies explores a range of practical approaches to drawing and printmaking, and analyses syntactical structures of image processing, including the broader issues of how images operate within specific contexts, both historical and contemporary. Students are also encouraged to investigate drawing and printmedia through experimentation around relationships between drawing, printmaking, and other studio based visual art practices. The subject comprises set projects and structured classes in perceptually based and expanded drawing and printmedia practices. Relevant imaging issues are addressed via regular group discussions and critique sessions. Students are required to maintain sketchbooks and diaries.
