Course overview
Amended Couse AIM This course uses the creation of graphic narratives as an example of a creative method through which to critically assess the relationships between artistic practice, life and industry. Students will study the history and practice of autobiographical art, covering a range of cultural perspectives, and will apply what they have learned by creating their own autobiographical graphic narratives. In so doing, this course facilitates students to interrogate the broader intersections between art as public good, sustaining their own creative work and the lives of other artists who grapple with these issues. This will enhance their understanding of their own creative aspirations and personal values, while also developing critical reflection and communication skills that will underlie their future strategic career decisions. In addition to working as thoughtful artists, this course prepares creative industry professionals to transfer their critical lens and skills to commercial arts and cultural organisations, political campaign management, arts and cultural management in local council, state and federal government agencies, education, communication media for private companies, or in the not-for-profit sector.
