Both ‘Studio Practice’ and ‘Studio Process’ are defined in the Cross-study specifications (Page 10 Studio Arts Study Design). They are the structure that governs all Areas of Study of the four units of the study. This indicates that the Cross-study specifications are assessed in the School Assessed Task, School Assessed Coursework and End of Year Examination.
‘Studio Practice’ is the way in which an artist works; their individual ideas, subject matter, conceptual possibilities, influences and inspiration and the style of their work dependent on the period of time and culture in which they are working. Studio practice also includes the materials, techniques, processes and artforms which the artist works with.
‘Studio process’ sits within ‘Studio Practice’ and for the purpose of the Studio Arts Study Design, consists of the five stages used when artists create artworks: explore, develop, refine, resolve and present. The studio process is also supported by the following: an exploration proposal, a work plan, visual diary, art forms, potential directions and presentation of final artworks.
‘Studio practice and Studio process are addressed specifically in each of the three areas of study, particularly in Units 3 and 4.
