Content
Creative practitioners, working across disciplines as broad as the visual arts, performance, and creative writing, are often called upon to engage critically with their own work and that of others. This engagement may take many forms, including artist statements, catalogue essays or exhibition entries, abstracts and peer-reviewed articles for publication, biographical notes, reviews, writing for practitioner websites, public presentations, and exegeses. Students undertaking this unit will learn and practice skills in writing critically about their own creative work and that of others, across a range of forms and contexts. Through analysis of case-studies and applied learning in written assessment, students will discover how to situate their creative practice within conceptual and theoretical frameworks, and relevant cultural contexts, to showcase the impact and significance of creative work and to represent themselves as experts in their chosen field of creative practice. This unit is designed for any student interested in effectively communicating the important ideas and critical thinking that informs, and can be found within, their creative output.
