(Fully Online Postgraduate by Coursework Elective)

This course addresses managing creativity from a visual arts and design practitioner’s perspective. It will help you understand the processes required to develop a conceptually based project into one that can be practically realised. By applying management theories, you will understand how to take creative output from a restricted/idealised conceptual domain into the public domain of exhibitions, commissions, responses to design briefs etc. Issues of management involving people, materials and manufacture, quality control, and cultural and ethical issues will be covered. Lectures will be augmented by guest participation and mentoring from representatives of arts funding bodies, commercial galleries and design studios. You must have completed 24 units of credit within your program of study prior to undertaking this course. You will also need a previously conceptually developed art or design project to use as the basis of your study.

NOTE: You will receive log in instructions via your UNSW email account when the course commences.
