The course introduces a wide variety of approaches leading to a substantial and varied portfolio of work suitable to assist admission to art and design studies at university level. Studio space restricts class size. Class work includes: exercises and discussions to extend creative and personal expression; the development of observational skills through attitudes and processes in selected 2-D and 3-D areas reinforced by independent studies and home projects; thematic developments, inter-media experiments and exhibition preparation and presentation. Visits to art galleries provide insights into current art practice. An understanding of the language of art criticism and research methods will be provided.
| Objectives | The course: 1. establishes basic practical skills, techniques and approaches; 2. investigates concepts, materials and applications within a contemporary framework, related to the history and theories of art; 3. stimulates interest in creativity in fine art areas; 4. expands the sources of research material; 5. extends relevant fieldwork practices; 6. develops independent study skills. |
