Overview
The interdisciplinary studio environment provides through team-based project activities and problem-based learning, the application of knowledge, techniques and methodologies from your individual disciplines, whilst addressing a complex multi-faceted problem. The unit may involve any combination of art, design or architecture students. The ability to critically and creatively engage with 'real world' problems through interdisciplinary approaches will be the core of this unit. You will develop skills in communication, collaboration and innovation, essential tools for both professional practice and research activities within your chosen field and beyond. The final outcomes from the unit may be collaborative or individual.

24 hours total per week including 8 contact hours plus 16 hours of independent study, or equivalent.
Collaboration plays a significant role in the creation of contemporary cultural production, and group work will be modelled and practiced during the studio-driven class exercises. Whilst non-assessed group exercises will be directed by teaching staff, groups associated with the completion of assessed projects will be formed and managed by the students with the agreement of the tutors. Group work in class will be directed in a manner so that students are aware of different participatory models and reflexive communication strategies that need to developed during the group work associated with the assessed tasks.
This unit will be based in Prato, and introduces students to various professional outcomes that contemporary visual artists engage in. This is a workshop-driven unit that incorporates theoretical and historical perspectives on different public modes that visual artists exhibit in. This unit looks at all the steps required to make art public: from studio-based processes; the engagement of critical feedback; applying for an exhibition in a gallery; installing an artwork; and framing the artwork in a considered theoretical framework.
The students' final works and research, produced in the considered theoretical framework of the unit, will be curated and installed in an exhibition in the gallery and palazzo of Monash Prato.
