| Summary of Module |
|---|
The focus of the module will centre around two key areas, being:
- Digital Art Production
- Concept Art.
Students will be introduced to learning digital art painting techniques to develop an ability to fulfil modern art production practices with the use of 2D painting software. Students will develop an understanding of approach to painting digitally through a series of challenges which are aimed to establish core fundamentals to digitally painted characters.
Students investigate the complexity of material studies, drawing the human form, environmental art and how those skills achieved lead into the development of concepting a character.
Students will develop their skills and an understanding of drawing/painting in an application with the aim to adhere to concept art production.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning Outcomes: (maximum of 5 statements) |
|---|
On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:
L1.
Demonstrate knowledge of human anatomy for figurative drawing.
L2.
Apply knowledge and understanding of specialist methodologies in production of concept art.
L3.
Evaluate, analyse and apply theoretical underpinning through practical output. |
| Employability Skills and Personal Development Planning (PDP) Skills |
|---|
| SCQF Headings |
During completion of this module, there will be an opportunity to achieve
core skills in:
|
|---|
| Knowledge and Understanding (K and U) |
SCQF Level 8.
Students will demonstrate:
Drawing skills specific to figurative/character study.
A range of specialist knowledge related to character art concepts.
An understanding of the human form.
Ability to research and apply information to practical output. |
| Practice: Applied Knowledge and Understanding |
SCQF Level 8.
Students will apply core theories in the development of concept art production. This is a key skill within pre-production of animation.
Students will demonstrate application of enquiries into artistic styles and methods in production of a high quality art outcome.
Students will demonstrate ability in using a digital painting application. |
| Generic Cognitive skills |
SCQF Level 8.
Students will build common understanding within digital painting studies to formulate best approaches within concept design. |
| Communication, ICT and Numeracy Skills |
SCQF Level 8.
Students will use a professional 2D painting application.
Students will also be expected to utilise computer painting drawing devices, in production of art concepts. |
| Autonomy, Accountability and Working with others |
SCQF Level 8.
Students will be expected to work autonomously, producing work that builds production value, both within digital studies and concept design. Guidance will be provided on the specialist areas.
While students will not work in teams for assessment, it is expected that individuals will discuss work with peers to develop skills and abilities and form part of formative feedback. |
| Pre-requisites: |
Before undertaking this module the student should have
undertaken the following:

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
The module will be delivered by various means such as lectures, tutorials and practical lab work.
The lectures will deliver the core theories of human anatomy, drawing of human physiology, concept art conventions and goals, as well as examining key examples from current and past artists.
The tutorials and practical sessions will provide physical example of production techniques and methods, with students expected to implement these to demonstrate their skills and abilities. This will form part of the formative assessment work for the module.
