Brief description

The third year culminates in the Exhibition Module in Semester 2, which aims to consolidate and refine your interests as you develop your own unique artistic voice. With this as the focus for the third year in Fine Art practice, this module aims to enable you to develop the subject for your final exhibition through experimentation, research and engagement, exploring processes, and refining your skills, to enable you to develop your ideas and create the groundwork for Semester 2 and the End of Year Exhibition.

The module enables you to test and explore ideas such as showcasing your work in, for example, a studio exhibition, in which developmental work can be shown to your lecturers and peers, gaining vital feedback. This module should be approached as a developmental opportunity where ideas are tested, subject matter explored, context understood, and artwork created.

Content

This module will be focused on your individual practices and supported by lectures, seminars, group crits and tutorials.
