In this course students get to experiment with materials and techniques to produce artworks in a folio of drawings, prints, and paintings. Students will develop their own unique style as they conceptualise, plan and design artworks that express their own ideas. They observe artworks from a range of inspiring cultural and historical contexts and learn to discuss and analyse artworks in order to understand how artworks comment on the society in which they are produced. This research will also inspire the pieces they produce.
