In this proposal you will formulate and articulate the conceptual foundation for your practice, explain the decisions you have made regarding mediums, materials and presentation strategies, and respond to critical feedback from lecturers and peers. Through studio investigations and expressive and reflective writing you will explore and identify influences upon your art-making processes including formal, material, technological, cultural, and conceptual concerns to further your capacity to develop cycles of work of complexity and depth.???

You will continue to refine your technical skills to produce a resolved body of work.?
