Course Description
This course facilitates the completion of your Honours year and runs concurrently with Praxis and Resolution (VART3023). Honours Fine Art Studio 2 emphasises the establishment of a professional and independent practice as you resolve your project and realise the presentation of your final major work.
You will learn to present your final artworks using informed methods of installation, display, performance and/or exhibition and demonstrate your capacity to integrate the conceptual and technical. These will be the works that celebrate the completion of your Honours project.
Your supervisor will provide guidance in the progress and completion of these creative works, which should be documented and archived.
If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM). See the WAM information web page for more information.

Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions
Late submission or presentation of assessable work without an approved extension or special consideration will be penalised as follows:
· Completed work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day
· Work submitted after day 7 will not be assessed
· Weekends and holiday periods are included in the calculation of the late penalty
How the penalty is calculated:
Example - Work is submitted 6 days late, incurring a penalty of 30% (6 x 5% = 30%).
The submission receives a result of 60 out of 100. 60 - 30% = 42.
The numerical result for that assessment submission is modified from 60 to 42.
The result of 42 is used to calculate the final grade for the course.
