In this capstone course, which is also one of two designated WIL courses for this program, you will finalise a major folio of work across the semester and present this work at a professional standard, to an industry audience. This presentation will be accompanied by a research document in order to provide a critical account of the research project you have formed throughout the program.

You will continue to create new work in the studio, deepening and refining your practice as it has developed through the program, with the aim of producing a considered and defined body of work. Your folio of work will evidence a professional standard, supported by the testing and development of industry-appropriate presentation strategies, and the use of curatorial choices in editing the work presented relative to the discipline.

Your Studio 4 work and your presentation build on your previous studio courses and are assessed in combination with the research document. The research document builds on the research precis you have developed in the VART3621 Language of Creative Research course, and also on previous studio methodology reports and documentation of artworks. The research document, studio work, and presentation will demonstrate your ability to develop knowledge of your ?eld of practice and your ability to align your studio work with relevant cultural discourses.

This course is a designated Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course. It includes activities in which your knowledge and skills are applied and assessed in a simulated workplace context, and where feedback from industry and/or professional community is integral to the experience. An invited industry reviewer will provide feedback on your professional presentation and research document. Your academic supervisor is a current industry practitioner.
