| Brief description of the Unit |
Studio Project A is the first in a sequence of two units devoted to the development and production of a body of creative practical works of art, design or performance. Students develop their practice led research proposal in consultation with their studio supervisor and then work independently in a studio setting to realise their goals and produce the creative work. Weekly consultations with studio supervisors and discussions with fellow students are an important part of this process. |

| Unit Content: |
Studio at Honours level is research oriented and therefore develops from the initial research proposal through in depth consultation and discussion with a supervisor. While each students research project is individual, this unit nurtures, challenges and fosters a research culture appropriate to creative arts practice. It is accepted that in the early stages there may be some shifts in the proposed focus of the research outlined in the applicants initial proposal. With the assistance of the supervisor, the proposal will be refined to detail the direction of their investigations and to establish the nature and methodologies required to address the research exploration. Having established the approach of the research direction, and appropriately considered the research question, the student, in consultation with their supervisor will then focus upon their perceived goals in order to achieve their objectives and physically generate the outcomes. These outcomes will be presented in the form of exhibition, performance, or creative writing. Students will actively participate in the Creative Arts Research Seminars which cater for a combined cohort of Honours, Masters and PhD students. |
