It is a studio-based course which develops the conceptual, technical and material foundations essential to contemporary creative self-expression.

The course introduces the formal language and terminology of contemporary ideas as they apply to the making and context of contemporary art. It facilitates an understanding of the technical properties specific to different forms of creative expression across various media and demonstrates how studio concepts and methodologies shape approaches to the construction of meaning in contemporary studio based practices.
