FNA3111 · Studio practices 5

Overview

This unit is the fifth in the Studio Practices sequence. In this unit, emphasis is placed on independent investigation, and the development of the creative and critical potential inherent in your self-directed studio program. Experimentation combined with advanced conceptualisation and innovation, in material and technical manipulation, should be manifest at this stage of your practice. This unit provides a bridge between your experience in a supervised and supportive studio and independent cultural production that is contextualised within various professional practices in the field of fine art.
