Through tutorials, students will develop study and presentational skills and discuss common issues facing all art practitioners such as mechanisms for developing a systematic and self-critical approach to problem solving, time management and preparing for exhibitions. The units provide a relatively informal situation in which discussions can take place. Tutorial sessions run monthly, throughout the first and second terms.
