Previously offered in 2013

This final core 3000 level course emphasises sustained investigation, experimentation and analysis of the student's creative endeavors within a 2D or 3D or Photomedia framework. Students progressively assume greater responsibility for a self-directed program that uniquely expresses their concerns and which can be contextualised within the broader framework of contemporary art practice. This is an important culminating study, highlighting independence and self-directed creative growth with respect to processes and conceptual clarity.

Students are prepared for postgraduate studies and are encouraged to explore avenues for professional practice.
