Description

Students will continue the development of technical competence in, and broad operational of, theoretical knowledge within the specialised studio discipline. Projects relating to the conventions and techniques of Sculpture practice, participation in group meetings, critiques, reading groups and critical reflections, documentation of all work.

The SCUL212 course will be divided into two distinct studio projects that span terms three and four respectively. Each project will build upon the general knowledge students acquired in the prerequisite SCUL211 course, and lead to a more specialised practical, critical and theoretical understanding of their chosen discipline within the fine arts paradigm. Project outputs and accompanying documentation of all work undertaken within the studio will be expected to evidence an applied understanding of this specialised knowledge.
