Description

An introduction to studio practice across five fine arts disciplines.

FINA101 (SEM 1), What is Practice?, is a studio-based course that takes place in five two-week units (eight days), where students are introduced to the different studio disciplines in fine arts (Film, Graphic Design, Painting, Photography, Sculpture). Teaching for the course is founded on an idea of drawing as a process that is fundamental to all art and design enterprise. The aim here is to show that each area of practice offered with the School involves distinctive sets of methods and approaches to drawing.
