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.

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.
