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