Visual Art Studio Art Practice 1 (VASAP1011)

This course provides students with foundational knowledge of elements, principles, and materials of two-dimensional representation in the visual arts, such as is found in drawing, painting, print-making, photography, collage, and other. In exploring issues of visual design and perception the course provides insight into concepts such as the following: representation, space, dimension, volume, shape, line, colour, etc. Introduction to 2D Studio Art Practice is structured around thematic projects. These will initiate a range of experimental and interpretative visual investigations utilising such applications as painting, mono-printing and collage. Through experimentation with media and processes students will develop understanding of, and skills in, visual expression. Individual aptitudes and interests are encouraged. Students will also develop critical and analytical thinking, while enriching their visual arts terminology. The learning process will be supported by visits to art galleries/artists¿ studios, public, private and alternative exhibition spaces.
