This edition of Workshop Atelier is centred on an interrogation of the photographic print, its materiality, evolution, and currency in contemporary art practice. Through a series of projects students will consider historical and theoretical strategies to image making and question the condition, relevance, and enduring importance of the photographic print within digital culture today. 

 Traversing both the darkroom and the print studio, students will develop their critical knowledge and practical photographic skills associated with the use of 35mm, medium format and digital cameras. Students will have the opportunity to extend their understanding of print collecting and exhibition practices through visits to art institutions, guest critiques and panel discussions with specialists.

Advanced darkroom printing techniques, proofing methods and ways in which to prepare image files for digital output will be investigated. As well as this, diverse methods of photo-installation for the purposes of exhibition will be examined, toward a final public outcome. 

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. demonstrate an understanding of techniques, processes and concepts taught as part of the course;
2. synthesise new techniques and concepts with their established studio-based skills; and
3. show awareness of historical and theoretical contexts relevant to the course.

Research-Led Teaching

Additional Course Costs

MATERIAL FEE ($70) 

Each workshop sources appropriate specialist?materials,?which are made available to students?to facilitate their working?effectively,?efficiently and safely?within our programs. The School of Art is able to supply materials that don’t compromise ANU obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS), and that have been assessed as suitable for each course. In this course, your Materials Package consists of the materials required for portfolio projects #2 and #3, as well as disposable masks, gloves, ear and eye protection. All materials are prepared into the required sizes for assessment task projects. All of the other materials and PPE are acquired in bulk and are supplied at cost. Materials for the final assessment task (#4) are not provided in the materials pack and students will source their own materials as needed for their final project.

The?Material Fee?is payable for the School of Art to supply materials that become your physical property. You can choose to pay the Materials Fee and have these materials supplied to you through the School of Art, allowing you to take advantage of the GST-free bulk purchasing power of the ANU.?These materials are also WHS compliant. 

Students have the choice of acquiring these materials from a supplier other than the School of Art, however students should note that many materials may not be WHS compliant (and therefore are not approved for use in the workshops), or are not available for individuals to purchase because they must be supplied and stored in a particular way in order to meet WHS regulations.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information 
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the Academic Integrity . In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via ‘Wattle’ outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

• Respectful, generous and intellectually rigorous participation in group critique and other group learning formats is required.
• Attendance to all classes is expected unless you have a medical certificate or other valid reason. This is a practice-based studio course, which means your ability to achieve the learning outcomes will be affected by absences. More than one absence will significantly affect your engagement with the course. Students are expected to attend class from start to finish, which includes being on time and prepared to participate fully with the planned activities.
• Participation in WHS safe work practices during workshop based tutorials, including end of tutorial clean-up, is expected.

Examination(s)

Instructions will be posted on Wattle. Save all of your work generated during the semester for this course until the end of semester. Double submission is not allowed, meaning that no work that has been submitted for assessment for any other course can be re-submitted to this course for assessment, and vice versa.

Assessment Task 1

Progress Documentation

Students will present documentation of their technical development and speculative efforts in both wood and metal, as well as their idea generation, conceptual development, and understanding of historical and theoretical contexts as they relate to the themes of the course. These exercises will focus on achieving articulation and movement through cold connections, links and fasteners in wood and metal with a focus on chains. Detailed instructions and submission requirements will be posted on Wattle.
