It will be of particular interest to those seeking an art and design focus in multimedia. Students will study a combination of multimedia and digital studio, as well as units in theory, drawing, professional practice and a choice of electives. In third year, students will have a choice of majoring in either multimedia design or digital arts. Course structureThe course consists of the following areas of study: (a) Multimedia and digital arts major studios (42 points) This is the major study of the course and there are studios at each level. Units commence at a basic level of understanding and progress to a high level of competence in multimedia design. The knowledge gained in other parts of the course is progressively incorporated into the studio practice, developing problem-solving skills relevant to multimedia and digital arts. Assigned projects are approached within the context of the unique properties and opportunities of multimedia. The multimedia and digital arts studio unit will combine lectures and participation in a group studio environment involving traditional design activities and those of a more digital nature. (b) Technical units (12 points) These units will introduce the technicalities associated with creating digital media content and programming. (c) Complementary studies (42 points) Studies including design studio, drawing, typography, photomedia and digital imaging. (d) Cultural and critical issues (theory) (18 points) All students take three units on the theory, contextual and cultural aspects of art, design and new media throughout the course. (e) Professional practice (6 points) All students take one professional practice unit at year three level. (f) Electives (24 points) Twenty-four points are available for elective studies, which are selected in consultation with the course coordinator. Units will generally be taken from those available within the Faculty of Art and Design, but units offered elsewhere in the university are also available. As well choosing from the suite of digital imaging electives, it is likely that many students may also wish to undertake photomedia and/or other studio studies, such as drawing. (g) Occupational health and safety (0 points) A compulsory health and safety unit which deals with issues relevant to art and design. Course requirementsFirst year (48 points)First semester
