Unit Overview
- Description
In this core capstone studio unit, students continue to strengthen their artistic, conceptual, technical and research skills as they work towards the development of a fully resolved and substantial portfolio of work. With support and guidance from their lecturers, students are expected to independently initiate and develop a self-directed project and/or body of work in their chosen field of practice. Additionally, students are expected to consolidate the methodological approaches and practices developed over their previous units of study as well as undertake self-reflexive, critical analysis of their own work. A portion of the weekly contact time for this unit will be devoted to the preparation and development of the exegesis. Work produced in this unit will be considered for inclusion in the Graduate Exhibition.
