This subject explores a range of approaches to drawing, painting and sensory knowing through studio practice informed by scholarship of learning. Students come together as a practice-based community of artist-researchers to create, discuss and share imaginary worlds.
The experiential nature of the subject and studio-based workshops undertaken in sites including museums, galleries and on Country support students to undertake a self-directed, artful inquiry of their choosing.
