<p>This unit provides an initial exploration of the capabilities and role of digital technologies in creating art. Drawing on skills and knowledge developed in VACAP1011 students are encouraged to utilise digital technologies to experiment with how the elements and principles of art-making are translated through, or challenged /enhanced by digital technologies. In addition to the acquisition of digital capabilities the unit involves students in studio projects where they will learn and employ a range of software and media applications to create, produce and present digital art. The unit encourages students’ individual creativity and expression.</p>

<p>This unit provides an exploration of the analytical and observational skills essential to drawing. There is a focus on the elements of art such as line, shape, texture, form, space, colour and value. Students also consider visual issues of composition, space and perspective. Students will develop hand-and-eye concentration and problem-solving skills. The unit explores the materials and changing technologies of drawing in both traditional and contemporary practice and the wider implications for the production of meaningful art. This unit encourages students’ individual creativity and expression.</p>
