Critical Practices in Art: Writing FSA222
Hobart, Launceston
Introduction
This unit explores the interaction between art and writing. More than writing about art or the inclusion of text in art works, this unit encourages you to think about writing as both a mode of creative expression as well as critique. You will also engage in different ways (writing, presentation, making, critique and reflection) to contextualise and extend your own creative projects through practices of writing and critical enquiry. A variety of assessment tasks will bring together reading, writing and making to facilitate the productive links between these modes of creative communication.
Through integrated lectures and tutorial/practical sessions you will be introduced to interdisciplinary modes of practice that respond to key contemporary, historical, philosophical and cultural debates in the visual arts. The unit will explore the interrelationship between ideas, discussion, making and writing in relation to a range of cultural thematics, and will address ethical considerations and guidelines for professional arts practice.
