Unit Overview

Description

The Fine Arts Honours Dissertation by Art Practice Part 2 provides students with an opportunity to apply advanced skills and considered critical judgement in the completion and presentation of a major studio based research project of significant scope. The research project comprises this unit and the previous Fine Arts Honours Dissertation by Art Practice Part 1 (ARTF4004) which are taken sequentially and form a program of sustained research under the individual supervision of an academic member of staff. It is expected that students will conclude their research through the presentation of art works concurrent with the submission of their Fine Arts Honours Exegesis (ARTF4003).
