Brief description of the Unit

This unit acknowledges that an increasingly important skill for professional artists is the ability to collaborate effectively to bring projects to fruition. Students will engage in collaborative processes, guided through planning, research, and cooperative work to produce artworks, events, or performances that transcend individual interests and abilities. This will be undertaken in response to specific provocations, such as site, themes and materials. The unit will include studio practice and theory that introduces students to philosophies and practices of artists at work in a range of circumstances whether through community organisations, educational institutions, for social or political impact or artistic expression. The unit prepares students to become creative agents and critical thinkers.
