You will develop a self-directed visual art project by negotiated proposal to progress skills in the techniques and processes of various specialisations within contemporary art practice, through drawing, writing and analysis or other media. Introduction Welcome to VAR300ArtVisualResearch.In this unit, you are required to contextualise and expand upon the notion of Drawing through the knowledge that drawing contains many processes, applications and techniques that can include but also extend beyond works on paper. You will undertake two intensive projects: Science, Nature and Artifice and Architectural Drawing. In each exercise you will be required to engage and develop: l An understanding of how drawing has been explored by artists throughout history and how it may be interpreted in conventional and non-conventional forms within contemporary art. l An understanding of how to undertake appropriate research to formulate new ideas. l Knowledge of how to articulate your ideas through written form. l Techniques to assist in the progression of visual outcomes. l Exploration and development of digital media in your creative practice. l An awareness of cultural understanding through materials and imagery. l Confidence in critiquing and evaluating your work and the work of others. You are encouraged to develop the necessary skills to become proactive and autonomous in your art projects/exercises. It is expected that you consult with your tutor on a regular basis to discuss your ideas and working methodology. We hope you enjoy this unit.
