Overview
This introductory visual art unit provides you with practical experience of two-dimensional art-making to further develop your creative practice. Through both directed and independent activities, you will explore 2D materials and processes such as wet and dry media work, collage/assemblage, printmaking and additive and subtractive processes. These practical activities will be underpinned by the application of a 2D art vocabulary. This unit forms part of a suite of visual arts units that aim to expand your creative skillset and visual literacy for application in the visual art studio and beyond.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply experimental methods in the production of 2D artworks in individual and group settings.
- Use a relevant 2D vocabulary to describe modern and contemporary 2D compositions.
- Communicate the practical, conceptual and contextual aspects of your 2D artwork.
- Demonstrate knowledge of an appropriate range of modern and contemporary 2D artworks.
Content
This unit will introduce you to the key features of a range of two-dimensional art practices and their connection to the methods and concepts of contemporary art. These approaches link investigation and application with individual practices and projects. You will consider 2D art-making in a contemporary context with an emphasis on processes and experimentation.
Learning Approaches
Practical workshops based on independent enquiry and peer-based learning are the central elements of this unit. These workshops are supplemented by a program of lectures and online modules.
Each practical workshop session in the first half of the semester acts as the foundation for a portfolio of experimental work which is further developed and refined as a major independent project in the second half of the semester. The development of your independent project will be undertaken via consultations with teaching staff and class discussions with your peers.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will be given formative feedback on your progress throughout the semester through group reviews and consultations with teaching staff. In addition, general feedback will be posted to the cohort of students via the unit’s Canvas website. You will also receive individual feedback on the assessment items via criterion-referenced grading.
Assessment
Overview
To demonstrate your developing ability to experiment with 2D art processes, use a relevant 2D art vocabulary, and communicate your deepening knowledge of modern and contemporary 2D artworks, you are required to submit two assessment items: a portfolio of workshop-based tasks, and an independent creative Folio.
Faculty Assessment Information

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Portfolio
You will be required to submit a portfolio of works produced during a series of workshop-based tasks.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Creative Work
You will be required to produce an independent creative folio of 2D artwork, accompanied by a visual diary and written artist statement.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Requirements to Study
Costs
The unit has a materials levy. Alternative arrangements may be available for students experiencing financial hardship. Refer to the unit Canvas site for more information.
Resources
There are no required texts for this unit; however, readings and additional resources will be made available via your unit Canvas website.
Risk Assessment Statement
All students and staff are required to complete the Tier 1 CIF General Health and Safety Induction for access to campus buildings and facilities. This must be completed online.
This unit also requires a Tier 2 CIF Health and Safety Induction which is provided by the technician on site in the theatre, workshop or studio. Not all students are required to complete the Tier 2 induction.
This unit also requires a Tier 3 CIF Health and Safety Induction which is a hands on induction on specific machinery. Not all students are required to complete the Tier 3 induction.
You will be instructed on safe procedures and the required safety gear for all gallery, studio and workshop processes that are demonstrated. Health and Safety files are readily available for all materials and machinery in all studio areas. Technical supervision is provided for workshops and available on a regular basis during the week. Technical supervision is mandatory in 3D workshop and printmaking studios. A minimum of three students is required for after-hours access to gallery and studio spaces. Risk assessment forms must be completed and submitted before project work starts. You have an obligation to make yourself familiar with and adhere to the Visual Arts Studio Health and Safety Procedures and Health and Safety Documents. Refer to the QUT Health and Safety website.
