To:
Course Prefix & Number	Descriptive Title	Credits/Hours
A 327	Time-Based Media: Animation	4 -

Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) ANIMATION ART&DESIGN

Current Course Description: Use planning techniques and computer application experience to develop visual communications in animation and/or motion. Continue to work with issues of idea development, audience, message, continuity, and narrative. Use design development processes and aesthetic awareness in digital motion projects. Will include software instruction connected to project goals. Prerequisite: A 326

New Course Description: Develop techniques for planning and creating time-based digital communications and art. Use design processes and aesthetic awareness in creative digital motion and animation projects. Generate and refine concepts. Continue to work with issues of idea development, audience, message, continuity, and narrative. Includes software instruction and experience with technology connected to course goals. Prerequisite: A 326

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course change proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. In terms of justifying the change for A 327, this course has not yet been offered for 3 credits. It is being designed to begin Winter 2013 with a 4-credit workload in mind.

Students/Program affected: This change will affect any student enrolling in studio art courses offered by the Art Department. It will particularly affect any student seeking a BA, BS, or BFA degree or minor offered by the Art Department, with the exception of art history.
