Current Course Description: Continue applying skills and computer applications to projects reflecting contemporary practice in the field. 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. May be repeated twice for credit. Prerequisite: A 327

New Course Description: Continue to develop and apply skills in the creation of projects reflecting contemporary practices in time-based visual communications and art. Continue to work with issues of idea development, audience, message, continuity, and narrative. Focus on conceptual development, technical proficiencies, and aesthetic awareness. Includes software instruction and experience with technology connected to course goals. May be repeated for credit upon instructor¿s approval. Prerequisite: A 327

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, A 328 has not yet been offered for 3 credits. It is being designed to begin Spring 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.
