Introduction Art and Creativity 100 will present an understanding of the relationship between contemporary art and broader social, political and community contexts. This unit provides a hands-on experience and overview of the role that artists have in the community and the impact that they have on contemporary existence.   Art and Creativity aims to enable individuals to extend creative and imaginative intellectual abilities and communication skills. Creative activities including animation, collage, photography, journal gatherings, gallery visits and critical discussion will develop expertise reflecting cultural and aesthetic interests. There is an emphasis on making, presenting, critique, re-making and analysis in the understanding of visual language and individual expression. Students will be encouraged to adopt risk-taking strategies as a way of developing work and ideas. Some classes may require that you complete collaborative projects with your peers.   It is important that students are well prepared for all classes by completing set research and home projects when required. It is essential to allocate additional time beyond the prescribed contact time to complete the program. In the case of this 3-hour unit, the minimum additional weekly time allocation is 3 hours.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities Lectures   Lectures are intended to introduce the ideas and set a context for the creative assessment tasks. They will vary from traditional lectures to short artists talks and expert speakers. The learning activities for this unit allow a variety of approaches to be used by students to achieve the unit learning outcomes. This allows for creativity and individuality as well as the ability for students to use and expand on their own skills and expertise. Shortly after

On successful completion of this unit students can:Graduate Attributes addressed

each lecture a recording will be provided as an i-lecture available in the Echocentre in Blackboard. The lectures will look at Art and Creativity within popular culture, the role of the artist as social agent, the practical experiences of cultivating an idea (from the original inspiration through to a resolved work), the gallery as concept and the role of the curator. A broad range of creative practices will be presented, each using different methods of effectively engaging ideas, challenging boundaries and questioning contemporary ideas.     Creative activities   Engaging in the creative activities from the study guide (after watching the introductory lectures), will examine visual links and meanings inherent in objects and images drawing together often disparate concepts and fields of endeavor. This unit will highlight issues of interpretation; offer new insights and ways of understanding the visual world in the broader social context. The creative tasks in the study guide will look at making connections between their personal and social interests and inspirations. These will be interpreted through a visual and conceptual framework with consideration to aesthetics, theoretical concepts and popular culture. Students will explore the use and effectiveness of such concepts as humour, shock, empathy and shared experience. Methods of remixing, combining and culture jamming will be discussed as part of the methodology of Contemporary art. Practical outcomes from this unit will explore contemporary concepts in a way that encourages risk taking and experimentation. For example students will produce a creative work that focuses on structuring a narrative sequence in the form of stop animation.     Visual Journal   It is essential that all visual and written research including the recording of lectures goes into your visual journal. It is highly important that you provide evidence of your research and development for assessment. The study area in Blackboard demonstrates a number of ways to visually research and create content for the visual journal. All documentation of your work is essential. Please note it is your visual journal that will be assessed. Producing varied, consistent visual research and creative content in the visual journal will provide the greatest opportunity to learn and successfully pass this unit.    

Learning Resources Other resources

  This unit is supplemented through blackboard where you will find links to ilectures, podcasts, websites, e-reserve articles and visual presentations. You MUST visit the blackboard to access the supplementary learning resources for this unit. Recommended Texts   Regular readings and scanned sections of texts will be available for this unit through blackboard. It is highly recommended that you regularly read and familiarize yourself with current journals pertaining to your area/s of interest; some suggested journals are listed below, many of which can be found in the library.

Pass requirements

Students must achieve a Final Mark of 50 or greater to pass this unit

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.
