School of Art and Design · ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences
This is a project-oriented course that is designed to heighten awareness of connections between technical, material and conceptual skills. Students identify a theme and process/es as a focus for their project. A series of structured exercises develop the students' ability to engage with ideas through the material and visual language of making. Studio theory is undertaken to examine and situate the students' work within the historical and contemporary contexts of jewellery and object making. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course.
130 hours of total student learning time made up from: a) 48 hours of contact over 12 weeks: lectures, tutorials, critiques and supervised studio practice; and b) 82 hours of independent studio practice, reading and writing. Other Information School of Art & Design studio courses have a limited enrolment capacity. Students are advised to enrol as early as possible to maximise the opportunity of securing a place.
