=Unit 3 - Studio production and professional art practices = = = =Outcome 1=

=
An exploration proposal is written prior to the commencement of the individual design process. It is a document that outlines the student’s ideas, including a plan on how the student proposes to develop and explore aesthetic qualities, materials and techniques. The proposal identifies any artistic inspiration that supports the student’s ideas. The proposal is used to assist and plan how the student will use their time to complete the individual design process. The exploration proposal should be written on an individual basis; the final written document should extend beyond a set formula or pro forma and should demonstrate a student’s individual approach. The proposal should cover all areas listed in the nature of the task. The exploration proposal is continually referred to throughout the design process to support the identification of appropriate directions for the development of ideas.======

=Unit 3 - Outcome 3= The theoretical component of this study is an important basis for studio practice as it offers students a model for inquiry that can support their artmaking practices. Students’ research focuses on the visual analysis of artworks and investigates how artists have interpreted sources of inspiration and influences in their artmaking. Students examine how artists have used materials, techniques and processes to create aesthetic qualities. They study how artists have developed styles and explored their cultural identity in their artwork. Students use this knowledge to inform their own processes to support their artmaking. On completion of this unit the student should be able to discuss art practices in relation to particular artworks of at least two artists and analyse ways in which artists develop their styles.

= U nit 4 - Outcome 1 - Folio of artworks  =

This area of study focuses on the production of a cohesive folio of finished artworks developed from the selected potential directions that have been identified in the individual design process in Unit 3. The production of artworks is supported by the focus, reflection and evaluation process described in Area of Study 2. In this area of study a cohesive folio demonstrates identified relationships between the artworks that are interpreted through aesthetics, themes, concepts and/or materials and techniques. The final artworks are created in selected art form/s, presented in a manner appropriate to those art form/s, and reflect an understanding of the art form/s and related materials and techniques. Materials and techniques are skillfully applied, and ideas, techniques and aesthetic qualities are resolved. The student’s aims are realised and ideas communicated in the final artworks. The folio will consist of no fewer than two finished artworks. However, the number of artworks will be determined by the nature, the scale and complexity of the work undertaken. The completed folio will demonstrate a cohesive relationship between the final artworks


 * Outcome 2 - **** Focus, reflection and evaluation **


 * This area of study requires students to reflect on their folio and produce an evaluation of the finished artworks. Students provide visual and written documentation of the selected potential directions that were used as the basis for the final artworks in Unit 4 Area of Study 1. The documentation must identify the refined focus of the production of the folio, including the reasons why specific potential directions, developed in the design process in Unit 3, have been selected to produce the folio in Unit 4. At the completion of the folio, students examine and reflect on the communication of ideas, the use of materials and techniques, the resolution of aesthetics and the relationships that have been formed in the cohesive folio. They document how the artworks will be presented to support the communication refined throughout the individual design process. They may explain any refocusing and provide visual support materials that demonstrate the refinement of skills and techniques employed in the fol io. **

**Outcome 3 -** **Art industry contexts**

This area of study focuses on the analysis of requirements and conditions of environments where artworks are presented. For exhibition, the artist enters the realm of the art industry where galleries, curators and designers play various roles to support the presentation and promotion of artworks. Students examine a variety of exhibition spaces and review the methods and considerations involved in the preparation, presentation and conservation of artworks. As part of this requirement, students visit at least two different exhibition spaces in their current year of study. The conservation of artwork is a concern of artists, the personnel associated with art spaces where the artworks are placed, and the public. Students develop an awareness and understanding of processes and considerations involved in the display of artworks to a wider audience. Students develop their awareness and understanding of the exhibition of artworks, focusing on the production, presentation, promotion and marketing of art. Students may select from exhibitions in commercial and public galleries, museums, community environments, public spaces, online in virtual spaces, and other alternative art spaces.
