VACAP3003 Connections
This unit is about artists connecting with their audiences. It is aligned with VASAP3016 and builds on VAPAP3005. In preparation for life as a visual arts graduate, students need to be flexible and adaptive in how they communicate the outcomes of their work and projects. To that end this course is designed to reflect changeable circumstances, and is flexible in how the outcomes are reached. For example, the individual contribution to the end of year graduate exhibition is an assessable part of this unit whether that exhibition is a traditional physical exhibition in a local space or it takes place completely in the online environment. This course is therefore designed as a reflexive, responsive and agile engagement of creative art skills that challenge and affirm thinking through materials, actions and propositions that have a public outcome. Students are also encouraged to think beyond their chosen medium (as in the work for VASAP3016) and create/ experiment with new work tailored for connecting to a broader public whether it is for exhibition, pop-up space, projection or another alternative public presence. The propositional responses may incorporate drawing, video and photographic and or digital production that acknowledge the presence of the final work across online media platforms, thus engaging and encouraging national and international connectivity. In summary, students will explore and respond to various modes and media by which artists connect with their audiences.
