Drawing is everywhere – it is a way of describing and making sense of the world, our dreams, emotions and actions. Drawing in this sense can be considered a process of constructing narrative and sequences. In this studio-based course students translate this drawings in the direct print process of the Risograph Machine to colour prints to develop independent projects that explore drawing as both an autonomous contemporary practice and as a tool and process which informs interdisciplinary approaches to making. Taking advantage of the ability of the print Risograph machine to produce prints that translate the core traits of drawing, such as its immediacy, directness, and materiality, students will build discrete bodies of work informed by lectures, seminars, and their independent research. Work health and safety (WHS) is an integral component of this course.

Learning Outcomes

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

1. competently utilise a range of skills in response to project drawing and Riso printing machine assignments;
2. explore the potential of narratiive and material/s used in assignments;
3. investigate the inventive application of concepts and processes in drawing and printing; and
4. engage with historical and theoretical contexts relevant to set project drawing assignments.

Research-Led Teaching

In Narrative and Meaning students will explore how narrative has been explored in a number of drawing approaches from comics and zines to conventional drawing and formats to scrolls. They will expand and develop their understanding of how narrative has been used across drawing practice from surrealism to time based data mapping. Students are encouraged to consider how through their chosen material approaches and subjects might lead them to explore the language and potential of studio-based research in new and significant ways. They will learn to articulate how their material choices give rise to different readings, and how their practice- based research can be contextualised both historically and in the contemporary field. Students are required to be open and curious and to apply examples laterally to their own individual research projects.

Additional Course Costs

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of the ANU culture as a community of scholars. The University’s students are an integral part of that community. The academic integrity principle commits all students to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support, academic integrity, and to uphold this commitment by behaving honestly, responsibly and ethically, and with respect and fairness, in scholarly practice.

The University expects all staff and students to be familiar with the academic integrity principle, the Academic Integrity Rule 2021, the Policy: Student Academic Integrity and Procedure: Student Academic Integrity, and to uphold high standards of academic integrity to ensure the quality and value of our qualifications.

The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 is a legal document that the University uses to promote academic integrity, and manage breaches of the academic integrity principle. The Policy and Procedure support the Rule by outlining overarching principles, responsibilities and processes. The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 commences on 1 December 2021 and applies to courses commencing on or after that date, as well as to research conduct occurring on or after that date. Prior to this, the Academic Misconduct Rule 2015 applies.

 

The University commits to assisting all students to understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. All coursework students must complete the online Academic Integrity Module (Epigeum), and Higher Degree Research (HDR) students are required to complete research integrity training. The Academic Integrity website provides information about services available to assist students with their assignments, examinations and other learning activities, as well as understanding and upholding academic integrity.
