National Element Code & Title:

5362C Interdisciplinary drawing III


Learning Outcomes


1. Research a variety of source material and develop concepts, ideas and images for creative drawings
2. Select appropriate conventional and innovative media and techniques, including computer-aided software packages, to develop preliminary studies and drawings
3. Execute and evaluate drawings that demonstrate a personal vision


Details of Learning Activities

In the first weeks of the Program and in negotiation with supervising academic staff students will develop an initial Project Proposal document. The Project document will foreshadow research paths to be undertaken by the student and will be formally reviewed by the student and supervising academic staff midway through the Semester. Through the course of the Semester the Project document will be formed to infer areas of proposed conceptual investigation, practice based enquires and will scope and link all studio based Courses and activities undertaken by the student. Research, reflections, and appropriate notes resulting from access to Theory Courses will also be developed within the Project document.

Interdisciplinary drawing will reflect the investigation developed within each student’s individual Project document. Idea development related to drawing, as an interdisciplinary practice will be developed through individual tutorials.

All students will be required to develop a resource of drawings that inform the work in their major area of practice. This will occur under the guidance of academic staff with expertise in the field of drawing to develop an understanding in the student of the role of drawing conceptually and technically.


Teaching Schedule

Week 1 to 16: Studio based individual and group tutorial advice.
Week 17: Installation of drawings as a support to each students major area of practice.
Week 18: Assessment

Overview of Assessment

A comprehensive drawing folio


Assessment Tasks

Students will present a substantial and resolved body of work (folio), informed by the research undertaken within the Project document, demonstrating an informed and thoughtful approach to drawing. Assessment will be conducted by a panel of Academic staff, in turn providing a written response to the student relating to the overall folio presentation. The written response from the Assessment panel will reflect on the intrinsic nature of the folio in relation to all areas of studio practice, installation and exhibition practice, in turn reflecting the conceptual investigation and research undertaken within the Project document.
