Next Units: VSW14 Painting: Material and Conceptual Investigation & WEB101 Web Communications

These are my next 2 Units for SP1  

VSW14 Painting: Material and Conceptual Investigation   

In this unit you will undertake a number of projects within the visual art specialisation of Painting. This unit encourages you to align conceptual development with the acquisition of traditional and contemporary skills across a range of media utilised in Painting. There are set projects based on the theme Time and Space to assist in the development of your understanding of contemporary art practices. The emphasis is on the exploration of ideas and creative visual inquiry. You will develop research methodologies and documentation skills through your study in this unit.


WEB101 Web Communications

The internet has dramatically changed the way people and organisations communicate, whether for better or worse. For many, online communication is now one of their most significant forms of interaction with others. Online communication also underpins collaboration between people, either in formal groups or loose networks. Online communication is now a key part of the media. Understanding how the internet affords us new and different ways of communicating is, therefore, essential. This unit will enable you to become an effective and sophisticated user of the internet, able to deploy its techniques, technologies and underlying concepts for online communication, collaboration and media.

The Gallery Experience

VSW100 Art & Creativity

Looking at how exhibition spaces can influence and have an impact on the interpretation of art and how it is communicated to a wider audience. The creative role of the curator is examined in the lectures and activities.
How do Galleries operate and why?
With the advent of the internet and virtual spaces, is the Gallery as important as an exhibition space?
Why are galleries always white?

Develop a virtual gallery and create an online Exhibition Catalogue

Working with the broad theme of 'Surprise', develop your role as an online curator to :
  • consider how to interpret the theme
  • select three artists and choose 1-2 works from each artist that relate to the theme
  • choose a title for your exhibition
  • make a catalogue for your exhibition
