In on-campus and external modes students learn advanced concepts, techniques and skills to analyse, apply and critically engage with visual art research and also understand its significance in relation to other creative art disciplines within the central topic of Identity. This course is integral to further understanding of Here and Now within VSA3005 Contemporary Art Practice 5 and BCA3001 Project B. Through this approach, this course is pertinent as a pathway for students wanting to undertake honours and postgraduate studies. This course and VSA3005 Contemporary Art Practice 5 are the capstone courses for studio practice and research and these two courses form the knowledge and skills for further study in Honours & Post-graduate research.
