Content
The focus of this unit is to build an artistic practice that examines a spectrum of visual arts methods and approaches. Beginning with an artwork produced previously, the student will seek to use this artefact as the basis for producing a number of new versions. Instead of concentrating on the content of this work, emphasis will be placed on how to develop or remediate new understandings and forms based on the four precepts of time, scale, material and context. In examining these four key artistic themes or inflections, students will seek to develop new understandings of how artworks can be modified or rethought to achieve distinctly different outcomes. Consisting of a series of workshops and case study presentations, students will develop skills in how to extend the resolution of artworks beyond one fixed way of researching, making and resolving. Following the production of a folio of four different remediated artworks produced across the first 6 weeks, students will produce a final new artwork in response to these experiments across the final five weeks of the trimester.
