Course Description

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to develop artistic practice to produce a concept for thematically connected prints through the exploration and application of a range of advanced techniques and media.


Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

None



National Competency Codes and Titles

National Element Code & Title:

VPAU030 Develop and refine artistic practice to produce a concept for thematically connected prints

Elements:

1. Experiment with printmaking techniques and media to inform work  

2. Develop and refine conceptual vision thematically connected prints

Learning Outcomes

The following learning outcomes will be undertaken through this course:

  • Explore the possibilities of printmaking through experimentation with printmaking techniques and media to inform work.
  • Extend your understanding of the unique possibilities with printmaking - the multiple and the unique state print.
  • Gain an understanding of the screen printing process.
  • Health and Safety will be addressed.
  • You will determine and organise resource requirements for new work.
  • Develop research and refine  a conceptual vision for prints.
  • Develop critical evaluation and articulation skills.
  • Develop and refine conceptual vision thematically connected prints.


Overview of Assessment

Production of prints which demonstrates a highly developed command of the selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision.
In depth knowledge of techniques, materials and tools and the ways they may be adapted and extended in printmaking.

Assessment evidence will be via

  • Visual Diary
  • Observation of performance
  • Tutorial
  • and Folio (see below).

Folio requirements

  • Completion of two resolved outcomes that will utilise some of the printmaking techniques demonstrated in classes. Your work will show an involvement to extend the technical processes used to make conceptually resolved prints
  • There will be outcomes which show experimentation with monochromatic and multi-colour prints.

PRINT 1, 2, & 3

  • There will be traditional and unique state outcomes.
  • Edition a minimum of 3 prints for traditional outcome
  • Unique states prints should be considered and resolved outcomes which may include installations, artists books and printed works which use different substrates. There will be 3 resolved outcomes.

PRINT 1 & 2

  • There will be traditional and unique state outcomes
  • Edition a minimum of 3 prints for traditional outcome
  • Unique states prints should be considered and resolved outcomes which may include installations, artists books and printed works which use different substrates. There will be 2 resolved unique state print outcomes
  • Students should note that preparatory work and experimental printing will be a major component of assessment.

We will be looking for engagement in the following:

  • Evidence of research
  • Evidence of experimentation and manipulation of processes
  • Conceptual response to projects
  • Technical proficiency
  • Resolution of finished art work
  • Presentation.
