Introduction
In this unit students will be taught observational skills a as training ground to explore the relationship between perception and cognition, rather than representation. The unit will introduce preliminary theories of seeing and interpretation (the ability to communicate ideas visually) and the transference of skills learned through drawing to other forms of visual expression.
Through a broad approach to observational practice, the unit offers a preliminary exploration of concepts related to observing, recording, analysis, speculation, development, visualisation, evaluation and communication. Students will be guided through learning in comprehension: discerning, translating/interpreting percepts into drawn marks and distinguishing and establishing relationships.
