Unit Overview

Description

This unit is open to students from all disciplines who wish to refine and advance their technical skills and knowledge in the fields of drawing, painting and printmedia. Students undertake intensive studio based workshops supported by online learning content, extending the foundational structures for developing independent sustainable work practices, critical conceptual processes and a confident and considered visual language. Students are encouraged to take a multidisciplinary and conceptually rigorous approach to drawing, painting and print, engaging ideas and methodologies from their other areas of study with a view to refining these interests and skills through specialisation in Level 3. This unit may involve working at off-campus locations so that students have the opportunity to learn ‘in situ'.
