This course provides outstanding field-based visual art engagement opportunities with environments in and around the Canberra region. It offers supervised camping-based field trips that provide primary research opportunities to inform artwork and related studio development. Informed individuals, representatives and artists from the local and Aboriginal communities are available to enhance student understanding of cultural relationships with country. Field research and tutorial sessions inform the secondary studio development of a folio of artwork. Field trips enable the collection and synthesis of materials and visual imagery as well as the location for undertaking site-specific work.
Where fieldwork involves travel outside of Canberra (including to other parts of the ACT), students will only be permitted to undertake this fieldwork upon completion of ANU required travel documentation and the approval of all travel documentation by the relevant delegate.
This course may be delivered as a semester length course or offered as an intensive.
This course is repeatable for credit, up to a maximum of 12 units, and if repeated must be repeated with a different topic each time.
