Develops students' knowledge and understanding of three-dimensional art practices within a contemporary framework. Staff-directed and self-motivated projects extend the range of 3-D processes and expand students' technical knowledge and skill acquisition. Conceptually based 3-D practices are linked to individual approaches and students independent artistic activity. Strong emphasis is placed upon experimentation and the exploration of ideas.

Objectives 1. To reinforce philosophical and conceptual approaches to 3-D practice within historical and contemporary frameworks:

2. To provide a forum for debate on contemporary art issues in relationship to the student's own art making practice:

3. To encourage students independent artistic activity:

4. To assist students to seek professional attitudes to 3-D Art practice and establish the area of specialisation in a broad sense;

5. To prepare students for specialisation in 3-D studies;

6. To provide a sound historical background of twentieth century artists, with a strong emphasis on Australian artists working in 3-D practice.
