This unit is the second in the Studio Practices sequence. It continues to challenge you in a range of leading contemporary art practices and interdisciplinary processes. The unit promotes and extends an experimental approach to conceptual, material and technical processes through painting, sculpture, print, photography, video, jewellery, glass and digital fabrication. Associated projects are introduced based on theories of contemporary art practice, collaborative practices and a variety of research based strategies. You will develop inventive and sustainable solutions to a series of projects that will enable you to form the basis of personal methodology and material language.
