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.
