Studio Theory Fine Arts D
THAP2632
This Unit of Study is split into three areas: Painting; Sculpture; Printmedia.Painting:Significant issues in art and related critical writing that have refashioned avant-garde practices since the 60s will be examined, with the primary focus on artists working within a discursive field. The aim is to provide students with an understanding of the connection between the object, that is the creative work, and the theoretical premise in related texts.Sculpture:An investigation into multi-media and trans-media practices. A primary concern will be a sound understanding of conceptual art since the 1960s and its redefintition of the object as a vector of an idea as opposed to an artifact. Another will be the ways in which technology has moulded our expectations of the art object/experience, particularly in relation to ideas such as interactivity and immersion.Printmedia:Here and Now: Using the broad understanding of contemporary art established in semester one, the unit moves on to look at the way in which a range of print and drawing based artists have developed their own practices in both local and international contexts.
