CAXDC1000 Forum 1: Knowledge and Creativity
This course introduces students to the study of a range of critical approaches in contemporary arts practice through theory and practice. The course will interrogate how artists' own social and cultural positioning influences the way in which they interpret and seek to make creative works. Students will be introduced to significant theories of creativity from across a variety of disciplines. They will be exposed to the creative processes of practitioners drawn from a range of fields. Developing a self-reflexive approach to the analysis of both theory and practice is one of the key objectives of Forum 1: Knowledge and Creativity and students are expected to interrogate their own life experience and creative contexts to develop a range of critical, analytical and research skills to inform and to support their own practice. The course involves continuing opportunities to attend film events.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
