Subject Outline

Methods &
Techniques

Studio Art & Ideas is the beginning of identifying what art a student would like to make or what materials they like to work with. Other subjects focus on the medium and the teaching of skills whereas Studio Art & Ideas focuses on the student to help them to identify their strengths and how to develop and shape them.

The students’ identity emerges and their future major work is often determined in this subject. The subject will involve projects, studio activities, visual journals, discussions, gallery experiments, visits to galleries and museums and visiting artists. In the second year, full-time students will receive a studio space as their studio work expands.
