Available to all students subject to prerequisites.

The subject will encompass the rounding out and deepening of the previous two years of study with particular emphasis being placed on drawing as a design tool, an investigative and expressive means and a powerful perceptual and technical discipline.The employment and integration of media and heightening of skills development will be reviewed in relation to form and content. Synthesis, content, structure and style will be examined; strategies for formulating and realising complex abstract and narrative ideas and concepts; the translation and manipulation of the autographic image through electronic media; the presentation and development of visual research and thought experiences; the use of a wide range of subject/object material, including the human figure to deepen the individuals knowledge of theoretical and formal concerns in drawing.

• exposure to a variety of subject and object matter including the figure, with a view to providing technical and conceptual tools which will enhance aspects of students' specialist study;
• further development of the ability to translate and manipulate a finished autographic image into a fully realised mature graphic product;
• research and devise strategies for the realisation of narrative pictorial concepts through the employment of abstract design constructs;
• acquire conceptual skills and a very high level of technical expertise which will allow a command of graphic visual language and which will demonstrate individual investigation and expressivity.

• The ability to think critically, to analyse and evaluate claims, evidence and arguments;
• The ability to define and to solve problems in at least one discipline area;
• The ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
• The ability to speak and write logically, clearly and creatively;
