About the Project

Overview

The aim of the Studio Teaching Project was to describe the characteristics of studio-based learning in Art, Architecture and Design disciplines, and to identify examples of effective studio teaching that enhance both the student and staff experience and optimise learning outcomes.

Research involved a comprehensive review of literature, surveys of academics and Heads of School in Art, Architecture and Design disicplines in Australia, and the development of case studies of good practice including innovative approaches to studio teaching.

The Studio Teching Toolkit presented on this website was developed as part of the project and has been created to inform and stimulate studio teaching practices.

Colleagues teaching studio in the areas of Art, Architecture and Design have been actively involved in the project by participating in surveys, providing examples of effective studio teaching or attending one of the Studio Teaching Forums.
