FNA4001 · Fine art project studies

Overview

Fine Art Research at Honours level is largely self-directed and non-prescriptive in terms of content. You will produce a proposal at the beginning of the semester but are free to develop the project in new directions as needed. You will meet regularly with your mentors while undertaking independent research and your work will be discussed and debated in group settings and weekly crit sessions.

The Handbook does not list a final examination among the assessment items. That is not a guarantee there is none.
