Course Description
The Course offers a structured program of drawing from the human subject male and female clothed and unclothed. The Course also engages modes of describing the subject within varying spatial contexts. Technical and formal conventions of drawing will be discussed and demonstrated and expressive aspects of practice will be critiqued. Students are required to initiate and sustain a personal body of art research additional to the life drawing component. All aspects of study should be comprehended within a historical and a contemporary art context.
Work Integrated Learning is incorporated within the Course by a regular program of group and individual critiques in conjunction with the viewing of public exhibitions and regular exposure and involvement with international arts practitioners through Metasenta, projects within The Drawing Space and the international Artist in Residence Program.
