Student review (2026-10-16): For a unit with "Digital Art" in the name, you'd really think that you'd be using your laptops to create said "digital art" wouldn't you? Well ya don't - not for at least the first half of the term. Although in saying that I did take this unit 2 years ago so it very well may have changed since then, but I personally didn't really enjoy it - particularly the whole "mantis humanoid mask stop-motion animation" bull.
Student review (2026-10-04, translated): This course teaches some fairly abstract graphic design and environmental design knowledge. For those with a certain level of artistic appreciation, as long as you put in effort, you can still get a good grade (since I didn’t aim for top marks, just passing was enough). It’s very friendly for those who don’t pay much attention in class, and attendance isn’t required.
