Programme redevelopment The Bachelor of Visual Art and Design has been through extensive redevelopment over the past 2 years. The first delivery of Level 5 of the redeveloped programme was in 2013, Level 6 in 2014 and Level 7 in 2015. www.ideaschool.ac.nz ideaschool - arts & thinking Programme information Throughout the delivery of the Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design (BVAD), students Subject areas will learn through engaging in projects. This project based learning (PBL) approach l Drawing and Design places the student at the centre of the learning experience, and allows for the l Graphic Design: Abode creative suite industry embedding of theory and practice within the project context. By weaving their way through the various projects that form this degree, students will learn the key skills, techniques, and theory needed to become professional visual artists and designers. Some projects are individually focused, others are collaborative, some are prescribed, others demand self-directed learning – and all projects are situated within the context of the local, national and global visual arts and design world. Year one There are seven projects at Level 5. All seven projects are core to the degree. These projects are largely prescribed, involve both individual and group learning, and include the key foundational visual arts and design skills, techniques and theory required at standard software, digital photography, video, 3D rendering, web design l 3D Design: wood, clay, metal, plastics l Furniture interior, spatial design including CAD l Print: woodblock, silkscreen, photosilkscreen, etching l Paint: acrylics, oils, new media l Intron press and 3D printing l Sculpture, clay, installation art l Art & design history, theory l Research by creative practice degree level. Year two Students will complete five projects at Level 6. There is an opportunity in each semester for students to choose between options. The Level 6 projects are increasingly self-directed, ensure the development of a stronger global understanding of creative industries, and include increasing professional skills such as marketing and business management, as well as legal issues relative to the creative practice. Year three Students will complete four projects at Level 7. There is an opportunity in semester one to choose between three options: studio time, work experience or developing a real-world commercial visual arts and design product. Upon completion of their option, students work collaboratively across the entire cohort to develop a collective publication. In the final semester, students then propose and ultimately work towards a large off-site end of year exhibition. Assessments Formative assessment will occur within each project to provide feedback to students about their progress and indicative grade. This formative assessment will typically be refered to as ‘green lighting’, whereby students will be expected to meet a critical point in the project timeline before proceeding any further. Each project is then assessed summatively at the conclusion of the project. For all summative assessment, each project will be assessed using the same domains, with each domain weighted relative to the nature of the project. The four assessment domains that will be applied to each project are: l Visual Arts and Design Work lResearch l Creative Process l Professional Skills Asessment methods may take the form of creative outputs, design or drawing journals, essay writing, presentations and so forth. Some assignments will be individually assessed while others will be group work. www.ideaschool.ac.nz ideaschool - arts & thinking NamePosition Academic staff ideaschool is headed by Chris Verburg.
