This subject builds on the studio practice components introduced in Studio Studies 5, with an emphasis on the consolidation of work practice and preparation of a resolved body of work for final assessment, inclusion in the Graduate Exhibition and entry into the Honours Year. Through individual studio tutorials and forums, students will articulate and discuss their work and the work of others in a contemporary visual art context. The Professional Practice component introduces students to the practical implementation of their artistic careers through a series of industry related lectures and workshops. Students will develop regular visual artwork practices through application of effective time management strategies and maintain established foundations of sound occupational health and safety practices.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- utilise advanced skills and techniques in applying a studio based artistic practice;
- evaluate experimental work practices and research methods in relation to an exhibition-making and industry-based practice;
- consolidate the relationship between individual work practices and the working space of the studio;
- demonstrate industry level aesthetic sensibility of contemporary visual culture to individual or collaborative work practice;
- critically analyse and evaluate artistic processes and resolutions;
- demonstrate practical and collaborative skills and attributes, linking them to industry expectations.
