Continuing to challenge the students in a range of leading contemporary art practices and methods, this unit promotes the Sculpture and Spatial Practice approach to conceptual and material understanding in the studio. Associated projects are introduced based on theories of contemporary art practices, collaborative practices and individual modes of focused outcomes. Students will develop inventive and sustainable solutions to a series of projects that will enable them to form the basis of personal methodology and material language.
- Understanding what contemporary sculpture looks like and is informed by
- Understanding the language of the expanded field of sculpture and spatial practice
- Develop an appreciation for material manipulation and methods
- Sculpture after the found object and the ready-made
- Understanding composition within spatial practice
- Contemporary methods for sculpture
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
