Ceramics
Syllabus
Continuing projects are designed to introduce students to a broader range of skills and technologies and develop conceptual and thematic aspects addressed by the program of study. Greater emphasis is placed on individual conceptual development within this semester, as outlined in a work proposal, which is subject to approval by the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer. Glaze/clay/kilns may be completed in D5 or D6 (if it has not previously been completed in D3 or D4). Short presentations on broader ceramic fields may be required as outlined in project outline.

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.

Glass
Syllabus
Students extend their studies by developing individual themes and work methodology, and independent study programs outlined in a work proposal, developed in consultation with their lecturer, 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. Throughout, 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. In the final year a high degree of self motivation should operate in the Workshop with considerable independence required.

Painting
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, 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.

Photomedia
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. The study program as outlined in a Workshop Proposal, is subject to approval by the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer.

Sculpture
Syllabus
In Major D5 students are encouraged to pursue personal interests and approaches to making through independent research (IWP) that recognises and embraces the breadth 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.

Textiles
Syllabus
Research, drawing and concept development is an integral part of coursework. Students develop individual work proposals. The study program outlined in a Work Proposal, is subject to the approval of the Head of Workshop or relevant lecturer.
