Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

VART3450 Contemporary Print Imaging.

Course Description

In this course you will extend your conceptual and technical skills in the practice and theory of contemporary fine art photography or printmaking. This course is designed to assist you in producing work using photography or printmaking as an integral part of your studio practice. Conceptual investigations of your studio practice will encourage an innovative and responsive approach to technology and your thinking and making processes. A set of related projects will address the notion of process, materials, and self-reflexivity as methods of production that can lead to innovation.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

Capability Development

In this course you will develop the following program capabilities:

• find creative solutions to constraints and challenges in a fine art context
• effectively communicate via artistic production in a range of media and modes with awareness of and sensitivity to a range of local and global contexts and cultures
• develop a critically reflective arts practice, in order to continually develop, change and plan for a future that is both informed by and improved by arts practice
• develop individual and collaborative modes of working and apply skills in teamwork, leadership and self-management
• engage in autonomous and continued learning, apply new theories of practice and embrace new developments in cultural/artistic production

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:

• write creative projects that articulate your artistic intentions and identify the importance of medium selection as a vehicle for your ideas
• develop and refine skills in photographic work or printmaking processes to produce a resolved body of print related works
• discuss your practice in relation to contemporary art practice
• critically reflect on your own work and the work of others by considering the use of technology and innovation
• successfully apply occupational, health and safety measures when making works

Overview of Learning Activities

In this course you will engage with the studio as a process of creation and as a site of practice and enquiry. It is studio based which means your learning is activated through experimenting, exploring, testing, envisioning, observing, and playing with a range of materials and art making processes and methods in a studio environment to develop you as an art practitioner.

You will engage in a range of learning activities such as making works, experimenting with materials, practice based research, workshops, presentations, demonstrations, gallery and site visits, reflective writing, group discussions, consultations on your studio work and occupational health and safety demonstrations.

You will also receive verbal and/or written feedback from academic staff and peers through a variety of consultations and tutorials. This feedback will help you to track how your learning is progressing against the specified learning outcomes and capabilities for this course. In classes you will engage in critical reflection and reviews.
