In Major 3 a broader range of intermediate skills, techniques and processes, including occupational health and safety principles, is introduced in each workshop. Instruction through design-based studio work encourages an integration of material practice with growing conceptual investigation.  Studio theory increasingly serves to contextualize student study within the broader arts and design context.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

1. Show an increased level of skill with use of materials, equipment and tools
2. Plan and manage design-specific projects, independently or collaboratively
3. Exploit the characteristics of materials and processes in an individual way
4. Demonstrate critical awareness of design issues
5. Show awareness of OH & S requirements and procedures

Portfolio of studio work (80%) and Journal/Documentation/Studio Theory presentation (20%). Assessment includes priodic critique and review sessions that provide ongoing feedback on work in progress.

12 hours per week lectures, tutorials, critiques and supervised studio practice and 6 hours per week independent studio practice.
