Students will learn to research key information on historical and contemporary artists and their use of sculptural processes. Sculpture will be discussed and situated within contemporary culture.
The broad base of study here provides the foundation for further studies involving 3D forms and material processes. It provides the basis for the understanding of, and engagement with manual sculptural techniques and their critique.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Employ a variety of manual sculptural processes including, modelling, casting, assemblage and reduction to create three-dimensional forms;
2. Review the use of sculptural processes, media and techniques;
3. Identify key information on historical and contemporary artists and their use of sculptural processes;
4. Produce a group of resolved, three-dimensional forms that demonstrate control of a diverse range of sculptural techniques and processes; and
5. Employ written communication skills in a professional and/or academic context.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
TAFE Queensland applies the following amendments to the late submission procedures detailed in Section 9.12.48 of the Assessment Policy and Procedures handbook.
All work must be completed and submitted by the due date. Applications for an extension may be made on the grounds of verifiable circumstances and must be submitted formally via email to the unit convener using the Assignment Extension Form. Students should apply for extensions as early as possible before the due date. Applications made after the due date will only be considered under extenuating circumstances.
Work submitted after the due date without an approved extension will be assessed on a pass or fail basis without feedback.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Students must maintain a satisfactory level of attendance. Attendance below 80% may adversely affect your ability to complete the unit at a satisfactory level. Students are expected to attend and actively participate in all lectures and tutorials. If a student misses lectures or tutorials, regardless of reason, it may negatively impact upon their final assessment, due to them having missed important educational information and material. Announcements that are made at lectures, and via class email, are deemed to be made to the whole group.
