Fine Arts Studio: Record, Visualise & Imagine

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This unit welcomes students from all fields of learning and is designed to cater to those who have no or little experience in making art as well as to those who wish to further develop their artistic skills and abilities. Students are introduced to foundational methods, materials, techniques and concepts in Fine Arts practice and to a wide array of recording methods and visualizing techniques, ranging from drawing, collage and print, to introductory photography and digital media. In this unit students will develop their capacity to interpret visual and sensory information and apply their interpretation with regard to the dynamics of colour, design and composition. Students begin to develop visual literacy through critical reflection on their creative work and expand their knowledge by participating in group critiques and class discussions. This is a core unit for students enrolled in the Fine Arts Major.
