Description:

This unit is an introduction to the theories which underpin the practices, performances and exhibitions of contemporary creative arts.  Students will be expected to cultivate a theoretical context for their work and articulate this knowledge through a reflective analytical report on the development of their artistic ideas and processes in relation to the protocols and innovations of their particular discipline/s. In addition this unit will impart the importance of sustainability and issues relating to artform practice. Units, where appropriate, will address social and cultural sustainability in the following ways:
