New Classes Proposed 2014/2015 Remediated Fine Art Painting (ADM/HASS/NTU) Breaking away from the traditional paintbrush and canvas, the course introduces creating digital animated paintings for the architectural urban media facade displays and projections.

Possible forms of content will be made available into context of colour and light for architecture, animation, and real-time graphics. Through the projects, the technical and conceptual approach of designing for augmented media facades will be examined.

Pre-requisite: basic knowledge of Maya 3D animation Software (ADM students), After Effects and/or Unity, Processing/VVVV programming language (ADM and NTU students).

Fine Art Print (ADM/HASS/NTU) This course introduces techniques and methods for creating contemporary fine art print. It focuses on block layered and color relief printing, monotype and silkscreen methods.

Drawing, creating multiples, opacities and transparencies, varied material substrates, color layering, and sequences will be used to generate ideas. Presentations on the historical and contemporary print and its culture, museum and studio visits would be incorporated. Through a coordinated sequence of projects, students will combine their conceptual and technical skills with the medium and study the application of fine art printmaking.

DV1001 Graphic Form (ADM Foundation BFA Design Art Core) The course introduces students to key processes and principles contributing to effective visual messaging. Development of visual meaning making, composition and visual organization skill, understanding on semiotics are key focus. Idea generating strategies such as brainstorming, visual mapping will be introduced alongside with studio investigations on relations between color, image, text, material and their interplay. Students will consider how meaning can be constructed, manipulated and organized visually through exploration of single and sequential formats of visual messaging.

iii) Student feedback and measures you have taken to address it For Students feedback on teaching please refer to SFT Print out in teaching Appendix Please comment on this faculty member's strengths          



Very passionate about teaching and very serious about students understanding and learning the right things.

Very encouraging and accepts all the difference strength/ knowledge we have.

She always encourages students to explore and define the topics themselves.

She gives a thorough explanation of project briefs, as well as patient to hear out our ideas.

She lets us explore without much restriction based on the themes.

She would be able to express to us her expectations and in what direction we are supposed to head.

Very experienced and inspiring! Projects are carefully planned and interesting to carry out.

Really passionate about the arts and the well-being of her students. Great teacher!

Very mindful and flexible to students' workload, stressing importance of quality over a fast job done. Guides each students work progress and improving the next.

Miss Ina is very encouraging, which inspires me to do well in my work and take pride in it too.

She is also dedicated to her teaching, often giving thorough advice and feedback on our projects on how they can be improved. With her guidance, I am more compelled to experiment with new ideas and go beyond my comfort zone.

Approachable and helpful. Guide and does not spoon feed. i love her.

Please comment on how the faculty member might improve the teaching and learning in this course.  Student: Provide more visuals  Comment: I have been introducing case studies and online platforms such as Pinterest Pinterest is a tool for collecting and organizing visuals that inspire- they are providing case studies for media and techniques and has wealth of resources. I have students create Pinterest mood "boards" that we share collectively for each project. These provide visual context and thus bring another sense into the learning experience  Student: More technical approach?

Ina comment: This is the most common complain. The class is mix of Polytechnic students that handle digital software skills well and JC students that are stronger in traditional skills and concept development. Majority of JC students expect in detail tutorials on software skills and Polytechnic Students are expecting more advanced levels of digital tutorials. My teaching strategy is to facilitate group projects and team works where these skills are blended. I believe learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information. All of the Projects are mix of traditional and digital media and experimentation: students individually perform an experiment and then come together as a class to discuss the results.  Student: She should go deeper in the new definition and how to apply it on the work.

Comment: There are so many topics to cover in 2D Foundation Courses. Aims of projects and assignments are to incorporate blend of 1) Research so for students to independently research a topic and can present their findings to the class as well as 2) experimentation and how the theory has been applied. My main focus is on guiding students by asking questions that will lead them to develop their own conclusions on the subject.  Student: To equally divide tutorial time in class so that each student gets an equal amount of time to enquire about their works. i.e. Time management for presentations and in-class

13



tutorials Comment: It has been a challenge to manage individual consultations of students as class increased from 18 to 20-24 students per class. This has been resolved by active email correspondence throughout the week and me being available for individual consultations scheduling outside of class through the week.

Student: Perhaps she can tap more on her overseas education knowledge and weave it into her lessons/work requirements for students to benefit even more from her wealth of experience.

Comment: I aim to provide an authentic context for tasks and most often the projects are inspired by my research- such is the case of "Emotion Study " Project that incorporates tactics from the research collaborative projects Student: Teach more classes because many students want to be under her tutelage .

Ina Comment: In the last seven years I remained in Foundation Disciplines. I need to grow and propose new classes as well and teach other subjects.

iv) Student Assessment14 Trough Assessment in my class I identified students’ strengths and weaknesses and directions for further learning. Modes of Assessments are done through:     

   

Presentations Oral Discussions and Group "thinking" in class at the end of every project. Critiques are reflecting on what we learned and what we want to achieve Self and Peer Assessment Projects/ assignments that involve evidence of research Process as evidenced in Journals/ process books, video documentation These terms are referring to assembled record showing development stages of one’s solution to a problem where observation, thinking, exploration, expression, and making are involved.

Finished art work Portfolios Hands on Activities and Exercises in class Group and individual presentations on topics covered in class

v) Description of learning activities designed to encourage deeper thinking in students with explanations In my classes students are encouraged to be independent and autonomous.

Most of activities in class rely on some form of guided discovery where I avoid most direct instruction and attempt to lead the student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate, and verbalize the new knowledge.

The classes are focused on studio practice based projects that blend interactive collaborative and student- centric research on given topic that are related to the project brief. Every project starts with research into art and design history, related style and art movements. Through past and current art case studies students are introduced to a wide range of methods and ideas.

Dossier Ina Conradi, (Asst. Prof.) http://www.inaconradi.com



Reflective-Practice & Visual Journals: Students are encouraged to autonomously evaluate and revise the results and findings of the process of their artistic research throughout the entire semester in a visual journal. The journal is a method of personally assessing progress, a comprehensive documentation that evidences all research done for each project, preliminary concepts and ideas. It helps in identifying the critical issues considered within the context of daily practice. The journal format varies from video documentation to web based recordings, blogs and online journals and platforms such as Pinterest where students can share and collect ideas with the wider online community.



Interdisciplinary Learning: My teaching creates an interdisciplinary platform that brings students together from various disciplines and major areas of interest such as interactive major, product design, animation, visual communication, engineering and science through collaborative projects.

There is a great emphasis on social and communication skills, as well as a collaborative exchange of ideas.



Self-evaluation, revision, critique: In the context of design practice, a step-by -step process is problematic. There are always challenges that become apparent only when the project has begun. Utilizing design methodology and an insistence on self-evaluation, revision, critique, through an open and energetic process of trial and error, students learn the importance of accommodation to change rather than rote learning. This is only possible in projects that run over 3-4 weeks.



Observations and discussions in group critiques every project is a weekly process. By bringing everyone together and reflecting on the work, communication is improved.



Online learning: For example, the class is encouraged to use discussion forums such as Facebook, Pinterest and blogs. These enable learners to actively construct knowledge.

v) Pedagogical innovations My goal is to create and design cooperative learning environments where art and design students can meet students from other disciplines and schools at NTU and other local and international universities.

In DA9001 Art, Design and Material Connections, proposed in 2011, is designed collaboratively with professors from the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Division of Material Technology, Wong Chee Cheong (Assoc Prof) and Andrew Grimsdale, (Assoc Prof). The class ensures team work among students that come from different backgrounds and experience unifying them on the same project oriented goal, and working together towards a resultant innovation. My proposed courses for 2015 are opened to the entire University.
