Course Description
In this course you will develop skills and knowledge required to extend creative expertise across new art forms and media. It involves exploring different art forms and media such as video, online media, installation or hybrid art and integrating new skills into creative practice.
Expertise with different art forms or media provides visual artists and other creative practitioners with the opportunity to evolve their professional practice and explore new ideas for and ways of creating work. This may involve a deepening exploration of work in a particular area of practice or a focus on new types of work. The course can be applied to any creative form with particular attention to new technologies such as digital of video work.
At this level, the independent practitioner already possesses well-developed skills in at least one art form and is evolving their work and ideas at a professional level. This process of experimentation, refinement and maturation lies at the heart of artistic practice and involves extensive practice as a fundamental part of the work process.
