Site Specific Art

DESA9015

This practical unit aims to give students a broad understanding of how site-specific art functions as a contemporary art medium, including its historical development and relationship to other visual art forms and architecture. Students gain experience in ways of selecting and analysing sites for the purposes of incorporation into artwork. Students begin to develop an individual art practice through using a wide range of materials to make temporary site-specific artworks and also begin to develop ways of analysing and evaluating site-specific artworks through directed group discussions.Students will be expected to produce a research process journal and report on how a particular artist/s or art movement has informed or influenced their final project/s.
