Overview

This course is one of two visual art studio capstone courses aimed at industry preparedness. The aim of these capstone courses is to facilitate the integration of advanced learned knowledge and the industry standard for employability and project outcomes. Students consolidate their experience in a range of professional concepts, techniques and skills in order to critically apply and professionally engage with their arts. The expectation is that at completion, students should have a clear idea of the high level of competency, project management and other professional issues required to produce successful outcomes. This process includes the use of dynamic concept and project development, of evaluation, re-evaluation, and adjustment. This course aims to equip students as self-reflective and independent practitioners/researchers/arts professionals, which is necessary for entry into further Honours and/or postgraduate study, or employment in the creative industries.

This course will require students to draw on the knowledge, research skills and technical abilities acquired in the foundational and intermediate studio pre-requisites and utilise these to carry out a self-directed project. Across this course, students will put forward a project proposal and develop a body of work as a continuation of the ideas raised in this. All stages of the project development will be carried out under the supervision of the studio lecturers, who will conduct individual and group consultations, and provide ongoing critiques and feedback. Students will be introduced to the various career pathways within professional arts industries. These include: practicing artist, curator, gallery administrator, art education officer, art teacher, art writer and more. This enables the student to cater their learning to individual career aspirations.

This is the first of two visual art project courses that present students with the opportunity for focused, in-depth, individualised arts outcomes. VAP3100 and VAP3200 complement VIS3010 and VI3020, and all four, along with the four pre-requisite studio courses, are necessary to complete a major in Visual Arts and professional competency.

On campus students will be required to undertake relevant WH&S inductions and employ the safe handling of materials, processes and equipment.
