| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module will focus on digital painting and concept art production skills. Students will concentrate on essential preproduction topics. As well as further advancement of character development techniques, students will focus on innovative design for planning and character interation to final cinematic conceptual portrayal.
Students will work on a comprehensive concept design project based on a pre-designated brief. Students will be required to produce a 'Concept Pack' per this brief, which requires the student to develop art concepts to the specification using iterative production and evaluation techniques, as well as develop under peer review with aim to fulfil the objective.

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.
Have an indepth understanding of character development.
L2.
Demonstrate a thorough approach to concept art production pipelines. |
| 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 9.
Students will develop working knowledge of the ability to create figurative art.
Students will have a critical understanding within preproduction specialising in concept art.
|
| Practice: Applied Knowledge and Understanding |
SCQF Level 9.
Students will apply professional techniques learned within figurative art and the digital workspace to produce specialised concept art.
Carry out a variety of research which will apply directly to the production of high quality artwork.
|
| Generic Cognitive skills |
SCQF Level 9.
Students will have to translate theoretical knowledge in to practice in both conventional and digital art environments. This will require problem solving skills relevant to artistic disciplines.
Students will have to identify expert approaches through a range of iterative design practices to arrive at a final piece of concept art.
|
| Communication, ICT and Numeracy Skills |
SCQF Level 9.
Students will use a professional painting application as well as further their ability to use a computer peripheral drawing devices to create production art. |
| Autonomy, Accountability and Working with others |
SCQF Level 9.
Students will work autonomously to produce, and further develop, character art. Students will be responsible for creating a coherent professional piece of concept art which will be subject to on going critical appraisal by the lecturer. |

(**N.B. Although reading lists should include current publications,
students are advised (particularly for material marked with an asterisk*) to
wait until the start of session for confirmation of the most up-to-date
material)
|
| Engagement Requirements |
|---|
In line with the Academic Engagement Procedure, Students are defined as academically engaged if they are regularly engaged with timetabled teaching sessions, course-related learning resources including those in the Library and on the relevant learning platform, and complete assessments and submit these on time. Please refer to the Academic Engagement Procedure at the following link: Academic engagement procedure
Where a module has Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body requirements these will be listed here:
Students should regularly attend timetabled sessions. They will also be expected to participate in any class activities, discussions and workshops. Students must also attempt assessment work, though where extenuating circumstances prevent this occurring, demonstrable communication with the teaching team should be evidenced as a marker of suitable engagement. |
