Overview
This foundational unit provides the principles and skills of creative and critical literacies in creative practice. It introduces the descriptive and analytical vocabulary for your creative practice discipline. It also looks at the principles of Indigenous knowledges and to the contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists have made to creative practice across a range of disciplines. The unit emphasises the productive relationship between traditional academic communication and creative practice with student responses to creative practice exemplars provided in both written and artform-based modes. This provides opportunities to practice academic writing, peer learning, and giving and receiving feedback. The unit prepares you to synthesise practical and theoretical knowledge about creative practice.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate an introductory knowledge of the aesthetic and critical vocabularies of a selection of creative practice disciplines.
- Develop and communicate an independent critical appraisal of a creative work.
- Demonstrate an awareness of diverse creative practices, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges.
- Use processes of experimentation and problem solving to respond to creative stimulus in imaginative and technically proficient ways.
Content
In this unit you will be introduced to ideas such as: the technical, aesthetic and conceptual principles central to a range of creative practice disciplines; the vocabulary required to discuss creative practice disciplines in an informed way; the conventions of academic writing; strategies for responding to creative stimuli through practice; different perspectives on creative practice and its appreciation; the contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and thinkers have made across a range of disciplines.
Learning Approaches
In this unit you will engage in a combination of tutorials, lectures, online modules and, when appropriate, site visits, where you will view and explore works in a minimum of four creative disciplines. This blended learning environment will encourage you to engage in both face-to-face and online discussions with peers and teaching staff to support your learning.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Formative feedback on learning will be provided through in-class activities facilitated by your tutor, as well as in peer-to-peer critique. You will also receive feedback through graded criteria sheets and additional comments.
Assessment
Overview
There are two assessments for this unit, both of which require you to respond to an existing creative work. The first is an individual written response to a creative work where you demonstrate your ability to observe and reflect on the work of others, and support your conclusions with evidence and research. The second assessment requires you to collaborate with peers to produce a creative response. This assessment has group and individual elements. Formative in-class and online tasks will assist you to complete your assessment in this unit.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Appraisal of a Creative Work
You will write an 800-word critical appraisal of an existing creative work, using both your own observation and supporting research.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Creative Response
You will work in a group to produce and capture a creative response to an existing creative work from another disciplinary field, with an individual short written rationale.
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
Requirements
All students and staff who access campus buildings and facilities are required to complete the Tier 1 General Health and Safety Induction. This must be completed online.
Resources
Resource materials for this unit will be supplied on Canvas.
Please note that some local travel may be required for creative practice site visits.
Resource Materials
Other
To enable your full participation in the virtual learning environment, for example, participating in online activities and engaging with online learning materials, you will need access to a reliable computer with an internet connection, webcam, headset and microphone, as well as a learning environment where you are able to fully participate undisturbed when required.
Risk Assessment Statement
For risks associated with using campus buildings or facilities, refer to the Tier 1 General Health and Safety Induction.
Where substantial computer-based work is required, particularly in the case of fully online students, you are recommended to take regular rest breaks when engaging in prolonged computer-based work, and ensure that your workstation is set up for optimal comfort to prevent strain or injury.
Other required safety inductions will be conducted as required.
