CRARTS 2002 - Creativity and the Adelaide Festival

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2021

How is a work of art made? How much can we learn from and be inspired by the creative processes of other artists? In this course we will investigate the process behind the creation of artworks in a range of forms, focusing on three interrelated areas: creativity, collaboration, and curation. The course is run in partnership with the Adelaide Festival, which provides students with discounted tickets to selected productions, including Indigenous, theatrical and musical performances and visual art exhibitions, and students also attend sessions at Writers' Week. Students research the origins of a selected work, touching on its relation to conventions of genre, its performance history, the creative decisions that underpin its current iteration, collaborative inputs, and so forth. Students also have the option of responding to the artwork in their chosen creative form. With input from Festival staff, we will consider the role of the Festival itself, developing an understanding of the curatorial and commissioning roles of festivals in the broader arts ecology. NOTE: This course is taught as an intensive, beginning in Orientation week when the Festival begins. At the Orientation week seminar the structure and assessment tasks for the course will be explained and tickets will be distributed. Students need to be aware that the first three weeks of the course (Orientation Week and Weeks 1 & 2) are very intensive, since they are expected to attend six Festival productions plus a session at Writers Week in addition to the course seminars. Only students 18 years or older are permitted to enrol in the course, because Festival productions may contain material of a sexually explicit or confronting nature.

Specific Course Requirements

Attendance at Festival events is a mandatory part of the course. Attendance at seminars is also a requirement of the course: students who attend less thatn 75% of classes will be awarded a Fail, unless they can supply documentation covering their absence or there are exceptional circumstances. All students must be aged 18 or over, due to the possibility that Festival events may contain confronting or R-rated material.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
