Using AART1110 Critical Studies 2 as a conceptual frame, and drawing, exploring expanded concepts such as observational and experimental approaches as an integral language and a research methodology, this course is a developed structured enquiry into the expressive potential of three-dimensional (3D) creativity. The course is an expansion of AART1300 3D Creative Enquiry and develops the range of materials and processes in ceramics, fibres-textiles or sculpture highlighting the significance of 3D practices. This foundation experience develops the cultural, historical, contemporary, theoretical and conceptual dimensions of these art forms.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course a student will be able to:
1. Create, from a variety of materials, and by a variety of means, developed visually resolved 3D forms.

2. Explore and apply a wide variety of 3D studio specific tools and materials confidently, competently and safely while engaged in 2D processes both in tutorials and through independent research

3. Demonstrate a developed knowledge of the cultural, historical and contemporary contexts of 3D forms

4. Contextualise their own work materially and theoretically through an analysis of other artists’ 3D forms

Content

1. The processes of 3D art making are undertaken through a variety of themes and approaches exploring and understanding physical and conceptual material.

2. Exploration of the elements and principles of 3D art: including materials and technology; mass/volume; shape/form/structure; moulding; construction; Occupational Health and Safety.

3. Facilitate interest in the creative possibilities of ceramics, fibres- textiles or sculpture practices.

4. An investigation of visual language and related History/Theory within a contemporary 3D framework to develop fundamental critical and analytical skills.
