FNA2212 · Studio practices 4

Overview

This unit is the fourth in the sequence for students to continue a range of leading contemporary art practices and methodologies. The unit further develops an experimental approach to interdisciplinarity, conceptual development, and material and technical fabrication. You will begin to devise self-initiated projects that are contextualised within theories of contemporary art, professional practices and research based strategies presented within the unit. You will develop inventive and sustainable creative practices that will enable you to continue to develop a personal methodology and aesthetic language.
