The communication process known as Ftne Art Is located at the leading edge of pure research tn the advancement of human understanding in modem society. Painting. pr1ntmaklng and sculpture in tbelrvarlous forms enrichourctvilisatton with their diversity of Imagination and are the essence of our humanity. The health and vigour of the Arts reveal the real values of any SOCiety. They are the most accurate predictors of our future directions. They are essential to spiritual health and mental growth.
Flowing from the source of the fine arts. the applied arts of Industrial and graphic design and tllustration not only colour our world hut are essential to the production of consumer and other items and to commerctal and SCientific communication.
The Media Arts and Communication too are essenttal to modem society. They draw on the fine and appUed arts, Integrate them with the media arts and by the use of spoken and written language stimulate human soctal infrastructure.
The result of the Faculty's approach to education and research tn the above areas is a distinctive human product, cliverse and clivergent and unique.
If Australia is to be a leader by example tn a modem industrial world context. it must not only be "clever" but rich in human imagination and its application. Innovative art. destgn and communication education. gtven proper recognttion and support. ts the ascending path to the achievement ofthts human potential.

Graded and Ungraded Assessments

Assessment Procedure.
Theory assessments are generally based on attendance I partlclpatlon and the quality of required seminar presentations and assignments.
Studio assessments vary from First to Third Year In accordance with the educational character of each year's program. In the First Year. large open assessment sessions bring students and lecturers together so that each student's Introductory experiences can be seen and discussed as an Integrated whole. Second Year assessments are conducted tn-diSCipline by panels of staff with speCialised knowledge of the studio area concerned; however, as In the First Year, large open assessment sessions are scheduled so that broad studio dialogue can occur.
The Third Year final exhibition presentations are assessed by specialist panels of staff. Normally, students are expected to present all relevant studio work at the assessments regardless of whether It is to be exhibited or not.
At all studio assessments, students are urged to present all relevant material Including notebooks.
Section Four Bach.lor Degr •• Cour .. Programs
sketchbooks. journals. foUos. work in progress and completed work. All work produced on-campus and off-campus. including work not directly related to the course, should be presented. Only then can the indivtdual's visual arts commitment be adequately understood.

Two weeks are set aside for the reView process and students are requtred to attend the reView sessions for an studJo studies being undertaken. The reviews are normally conducted along assessment lines but are used solely as progress Indicators.

One week Is set aside each year (usually In August) when the normal course timetables are suspended. In place of established classes, lectures etc .• unique workshops are organised within and across Departments to provide studJo-based and off-campus experiences which can focus creative energies in ways difficult to accomplish in normal course time.
