With a focus on image and object making, this course enables students to develop a knowledge and understanding of the principles of design and construction. Relevant to students with any level of experience the course introduces a range of skills and concepts to support future practice-led research. Each week students are presented with and guided through a series of tasks and approaches to develop conceptual, aesthetic and technical skills through haptic exploration within a studio environment. Students build a progressively developed experimental portfolio of two and three dimensional artworks for assessment. A deeper knowledge of contextual historical and contemporary art and design practice is developed through weekly slide presentations and critical reflections.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- identify and apply a range of processes and approaches to image and object making;
- utilise a variety of materials and techniques to explore structure, surface, shape, colour, tone, line, form and space;
- clearly show progressive development in conceptual ideas, image and object making through guided projects;
- demonstrate principles of two and three-dimensional design through pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, proportion, scale, harmony, rhythm and movement; and
- articulate a developing visual vocabulary through creative works, verbal discussion and written critical reflection.
