Course Summary
In this course, you will work collaboratively and individually to develop conceptual and technical processes relevant to ceramics. Projects centre on using 'historic' and/or 'significant' objects as conduits for research. You'll develop an individual approach using various ceramic techniques while considering presentation methods.
This course uses ceramics practice to critically examine material, social, cultural, environmental and historical contexts to inform your interdisciplinary studio practice. You'll explore the relationship between studio and exhibition, testing how installation sites enhance your work.
You'll create experimental investigations leading to creative outcomes that demonstrate social integrity and ethical, sustainable practices. Through artwork presentation, you'll engage in critical reflection and build digital documentation of your resolved artworks, concepts, research and methods.
This course includes a simulated Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience where you will plan and deliver a site-specific exhibition considering - not only the aesthetic and spatial attributes of your work in public - but also the safety, logistical, and promotional requirements of such an activity.
This course is part of the Major: 3D Studio Practices.
