Subject outline
What is art? and Who is the artist? are fundamental but often controversial questions for arts practitioners. This subject introduces students to key ideas and debates in contemporary approaches to the arts, including the literary, digital, performing and visual arts, assisting students to understand the different conceptions of art and the artist. Students will learn how to place contemporary arts in theoretical, critical and historical contexts; they will develop their capacities to think critically, creatively and originally about their own emerging strengths and interests as arts practitioners; and the will develop a vocabulary to speak and write about arts practices - their own and other artists'.
