ARTV4008 Major D8 (Part-Time)
The details for the course, Major D8 (Part-Time) (ARTV4008), apply to all of the following topics. Specific descriptions for Syllabus and Proposed Assessment that apply to each topic are detailed below.
Art Theory
There are no syllabus or indicative asesssment details for this topic.
Ceramics
Syllabus
Projects are designed to introduce students to both a range of skills and technologies and a range of conceptual and thematic aspects addressed by the program of study. Students are introduced to a broader range of ceramic technologies with press moulding and slip casting processes being experienced. Kiln understanding is extended in the use of wood and salt firings. Greater emphasis is placed on individual conceptual development within this semester. Alternatively, students seeking particular requirements and skills development may apply to study by Work Proposal subject to approval by the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer. Short presentations on boarder ceramic fields are required as outlined in project.
Indicative Assessment
Assessment is in accordance to ANU School of Art Assessment Procedures by periodic review sessions and scheduled critiques with peers and staff. At the end of semester students present their work to the Workshop Assessment Panel. Glaze/clay/kilns is assessed by presentation of completed testing program and the completion of a written examination. http://www.anu.edu.au/ITA/CSA/study.protocols/assess/index_art.html
Furniture
Syllabus
A program is structured around projects designed to reinforce a range of skills and technologies, and to extend previous studies through the development of individual themes and work methods in the form of 'Design Briefs'. The students are expected to further develop their research and presentation skills. The study program is supported by lectures in design and studio theory. Students must demonstrate an ability to develop a resolved body of work contextualised within a design and social milieu.
Students may submit an independent study program through a work proposal. This is a living study program and must be continued to be built by ongoing review as the proposal develops.

Syllabus
Students extend their studies by developing individual themes and work methodology, and independent study programs outlined in a work proposal, or POD (Point Of Departure). The POD is developed in consultation with their relevant lecturer and in reference to the published guidelines (see Program Requirements and Assessment Criteria). It is subject to approval by the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer

Gold & Silversmithing
Syllabus
Students extend their studies by developing individual themes and work methods. The programs of study are project-oriented and concentrate on developing students' skills and on choosing and applying techniques appropriate to their particular tasks. There is a greater emphasis on the use of varied methods in the same work and new materials and a combination of materials will be introduced. Individual projects are decided upon in consultation with Workshop staff. Thoughout, reference will be made to the history of gold and silversmithing so that students become aware of the context in which their subject has evolved.Indicative Assessment

Syllabus
Students extend their studies by developing individual themes and work methods, and independent study programs. The study program as outlined in a Work Proposal (see guidelines provided with Program Requirements and Assessment Criteria) is subject to approval by the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer. One day a week is allocated to drawing. The drawing program is developed and taught in eight-week blocks by the artist-in-residence. Such visiting artists conduct drawing programs which develop skills of visual representation to broaden the students' range of methods, materials and compositional drawings.Indicative Assessment

Syllabus
Students extend their studies by developing individual themes and work methods, and independent study programs and to participate in workshops, demonstrations and discussions dealing with specific techniques, processes and conceptual considerations.

Sculpture
Syllabus
In Major D8 students are encouraged to pursue personal interests and approaches to making through independent research (IWP) that recognises and embraces the breath of what may constitute a sculptural practice. An experimental and expansive approach to making is encouraged as students enhance their growing knowledge of the field of sculpture. Students engage with a range of conceptual, thematic and design considerations through their creative responses to making. Independent research facilitates a growing understanding of critical and theoretical issues, which informs an integrated approach to all aspects of making. Students must work towards developing a resolved body of work, which they can locate within a broader professional and cultural context. We offer focus sessions in investigative drawing and studio theory that facilitates an understanding of occupational health and safety issues. Responsibilities of the artist in relation to procedures and studio management are required.Indicative Assessment
