Credit points: 15
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 ways that art and the artist are conceived of. 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 will be assisted in developing a vocabulary through which to speak and write about arts practices -their own and other artists'. Students apply theoretical knowledge in practice during weekly workshops in which students generate and test creative ideas and engage in a collaborative process of revision and refinement of their creative practice, culminating in a final presentation/exhibition. This subject addresses La Trobe's Innovation and Entrepreneurship essential.
