Course notes
Art and the body A studio-based course that explores the body as subject/object. No particular media or area of practice will be advocated; rather a range of possibilities will be discussed, from representational forms (such as life-drawing) to the use of the body in time-based media such as performance and video. This will form the basis on which to develop your own interest in the body in creative practice.
