Unit Overview

Description

This studio is taught on location in both international and national settings where students are immersed in the rich experience of making art in the field. While the location in which this unit is offered will vary from year to year, students will draw on the unique social, economic, geographical and cultural contexts to develop a body of work that is informed by, and engages with those contexts and settings. This immersive and experiential studio provides students with a ‘hands-on' opportunity to develop their understanding of both national and international art practices. Building on previous study in studio-based units, students are encouraged to continue developing their independent work practices and to take greater command of the direction of their art practice.
