An in-class oral assessment (critique) for studio-based projects will be conducted at the end of each rotation and oral feedback provided progressively throughout the semester. A provisional mark for each project will be provided in week 8 for Block 1 projects and in week 15 for Block 2 projects.

For each Block the staff will model a set of assessment tasks in relation to the specific requirements of each project, based on the following:

Commitment:

• the development of self-motivation applied to individual, class or assignment-based work

• the degree of participation in class including class work, project submissions, and discussions the development of a consistent work pattern

• Arriving to class on time and prepared with all materials required & homework completed.

• Development and Inovation: Demonstration of the ability to initiate and realise your own objectives for studio practice.
• You are expected to improve your abilities to experiment, and to undertake research to develop artworks that are innovative and imaginative, meeting the critical and creative objectives of the project.

Critical Awareness:

• Demonstration of developing a critical awareness and knowledge of 2D, 3D and 4D practices and the ability to objectively evaluate your own work, select appropriate methods and materials and to formulate and evaluate ideas/methods.

Competence:

• Demonstration of the development and application of practical skills appropriate to the technical unit delivered.

Feedback will be provided to students during class and at completion of each block.

*Students MUST successfully complete BOTH blocks to satisfy the requirements of this unit.

** Unit requirements also include a minimum of 90% attendance to all classes / plus compulsory attendance and completion of technical classes and relevant technical assignments. The weekly two-hour technical workshop provides specialised knowledge, training and technical skills that complement each academic program. These workshops teach technical competence using contemporary and traditional materials and establish a culture of ongoing education about Workplace Health and Safety and sustainable practice and are an ESSENTIAL to the successful completion of the unit.
