Learning Through Doing
MVA candidate Meredith Frances Lynch joined a panel of speakers from galleries, museums and universities across Australia at this years Hatched Arts Research Symposium. Meredith’s paper: 'Learning through doing: practice based learning', discussed the artwork and practices of artists Tony Tuckson and Mel Bochner as examples of informal methods of and practical strategy for artists’ learning and development outside of the art-school setting. These case studies were considered in a comparison to the preparatory structure for learning as established in a formal setting such as the BVA and MVA programmes offered at Sydney College of the Arts. The event was coordinated by the Perth Institute for Contemporary Art to complement the annual Hatched exhibition that this year included the work of three SCA students: Shannon O’Laughlin, Courtney Williams, and Bronwyn Thompson.
