Professional Practice Electives
Students can elect to participate in Liveworm up to three times under the elective courses 3593QCA Professional Practice 1, 3594QCA Professional Practice 2, and 3595QCA Professional Practice 3. These courses are offered in Trimester 1, Trimester 2, and Trimester 3. Each course requires the completion of 100 hours of studio practice and a reflective journal.
In Liveworm, the course operates in an intensive mode of 17 hours per week over six consecutive weeks. The Professional Practice courses are not traditionally timetabled — students set their own individual timetables while in the studio (this is organised on your first day). Note that the studio also operates year-round, meaning that the groups run over normal Trimester breaks. Please check your group selections against the Griffith University academic calendar to avoid surprises.
Liveworm is offered to all Queensland College of Art, Griffith University students. It is a pre-requisite to have completed either 2681QCA Typography and Print or 2682QCA Typography and Expression before undertaking Liveworm to ensure you have enough visual design and typographic experience to be a confident and productive artworker in the studio.
