| 1 | New Media Art New Media Art is an interdisciplinary and collaborative discipline that focuses on our relationship with technology, visual culture and performance in contemporary art. This practice is rooted in the traditions of avant-garde processes and to fine new methods of art making, and responds to the rapid pace of technological development. Students in this program work closely with dedicated faculty and technicians to explore diverse methods of making in both the virtual and physical world. Projects challenge tradition and embrace new forms of aesthetic thinking, while all courses emphasize artistic excellence, active learning, and socially engaged practices. Students in this major enjoy adjacency to disciplines across the department and access to both digital and analog tools. Whether it is installation, film and video, physical computing, performance based art, animation, immersive installations, sound art, sensing devices, or participatory media, our students integrate the language of art and technology through an integrated and informed critical practice |

| 2 | EXPERIMENTAL ART Experimentation with materials and processes builds confidence, and helps develop awareness of spatial, textural and colour relationships, which are fundamental to art and design. A skilful artist or designer selects the materials and processes that communicate their message in the most effective way. Provides opportunities for learners to develop their personal practice, enrich their understanding of key concepts and improve their practical skills in a wide range of traditional and contemporary techniques. It allows learners to explore and build on their interests. The syllabus encourages independent expression and the development of a critical, reflective practice. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of abilities, materials and resources, and allows the different skills of teachers to be fully exploited. |
