3D Environments explores designing objects, environments and scenarios for a range of physical and virtual applications. Students will learn techniques suitable for a variety of outcomes including animation, games and motion graphics with a primary focus on designing environments, digital set design and landscapes. The course introduces students to fundamental concepts related to creating virtual and physical spaces through designing experimental 3D environments. Students will be introduced to virtual production and real-time 3D concepts through games engines. There is a strong focus on analysing and critiquing both historical and contemporary examples of virtual design, installation and light projections. Student projects may involve work integrated or research integrated learning opportunities; projects that involve external stakeholders; group/collaborative projects; speculative or more theoretically oriented projects; professionally oriented projects; projects based on competition or award briefs.

This course introduces students to the techniques and processes used in the creation of 3D objects, models and artworks for a wide range of applications in the creative industries including animation, film, art and design. Students will design and make objects using production processes and techniques such as 3D printing, digital modelling and the application of digital techniques to traditional materials. The course will develop foundational skills in designing for rapid prototyping and the creative application of digital fabrication technologies such as laser cutting, CNC machining and/or 3D printing to contemporary object making.

This course provides an immersive cultural experience where students are welcomed into Aboriginal spaces to engage with cultural knowledge on our terms. Through direct participation in a range of practices such as storytelling, art, weaving, dance, food, language, and music, students will gain a deeper understanding of Aboriginal ways of knowing and being.

This course explores the impacts of colonial policies and challenges faced by Aboriginal students, families and communities when accessing the schooling system. Students learn about best practice approaches for creating culturally responsive schools, and gain an awareness of their responsibility to deliver Aboriginal histories, cultures and languages in teaching and learning. This course also centres relationship building and collaboration between teachers and their learning communities.

This course explores the impacts of the legal histories and contemporary issues faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in an Australian legal context. Students will gain an understanding of British colonial law as a tool of colonisation and invasion. The course examines several legal cases, the doctrine of terra nullius, criminalisation, and Black deaths in custody. The course also examines contemporary social and economic issues stemming from broader colonial legal systems including the over- representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the criminal justice system, child protection, youth justice, land rights and Native Title. In considering remedies, the course highlights the importance of self-determination in solutions such as circle sentencing, justice reinvestment and other community-based approaches.
