Abstract
The Painting Minor 292 unit was conducted in the second semester of 1999 at the School of Art in the Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Perth in Western Australia. Associate Professor Ted Snell spent considerable amounts of time at the course commencement with the student cohort running through the expectations of the fifteen (15) week course, the course timetable, and through a detailed plan including school administration policies and procedures. It was understood that this unit would be project-based and that mid-semester and end-of-semester reviews would be conducted for assessment. It was also understood that each student was required to attend a number of field visits to various art institutions around the Perth metropolitan area, as well as attend presentations and combined school tutorials with guest lecturers which included Greek Cypriot & Australian Artist, Stellarc and Victoria Vesna from UCLA, USA. In addition, each student was required to produce a ‘Proposal of Project Works’ for review, and a tutorial presentation from each student was encouraged for peer review and feedback purposes. The result is a performance, film, print, and painting output, an element of ritual in the whole Body (of) Works 1 as it was later coined.
