Overview
This unit will demonstrate how an unfamiliar location, experience or culture can effect and inform the process of image making for art and design. Particular emphasis will be placed on the process of gathering information (visual research) and using image making skills to document your findings. From this, you will create a response to the unfamilar environment through a narrative of images that documents your experience. The process is intended to assist you to mature as artists and designers and to allow you to understand the importance of image as a means of communicating without need of verbal language.
