This course is structured around projects designed to develop and deepen a range of skills and technologies that are coupled with conceptual strategies. Students engage in a process of technical and conceptual exploration through individual responses to various topics. They begin to develop innovative and individual applications of video or animation processes in relation to visual storytelling. A studio theory program encourages students to explore the visual, conceptual and technical possibilities offered by an engagement with aspects of the history and theory of animation and video in the visual arts field. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course. This topic-based course alternates over two years (odd and even years). In odd years, the course focuses on composition and colour. Even years will investigate pattern and rhythm.
