Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): Students will have a basic understanding of using electric motors and movement to create kinetic sculptures.

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): During this course students will develop their own kinetic or sculpture project under the guidance of the teacher. Students should come to the course with prior knowledge (e.g. from Digital Sculpture 3 – programming for sculptors) and self-motivation. Students lacking
programming or motor control skills will focus on other, physical ways of creating movement in their work. Students will make use of the tools and facilities available in the sculpture workshops, such as metal and woodworking machines, combined with electronics and coding.

Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): Active participation in class & successful completion of personal project

The order of priority for admitting students to courses at Aalto ARTS 1.1.2018 onwards (approved by The Committee of Arts, Design and Architecture on 10.10.2017)

The order of priority is as follows:

  1. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have scheduled it for the current academic year in their personal study plan (HOPS);
  2. exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
  3. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
  4. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and has been scheduled in the student's PSP (HOPS) for the current academic year
  5. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  6. students for whom the course is compulsory for their minor;
  7. students, for whom the course is part of his/her minor subject’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  8. students who have applied for the course through a student mobility scheme (internal mobility within Aalto University, flexible study right (JOO) studies etc.);
  9. other students.

 

Courses that are intended to be multidisciplinary (e.g. UWAS courses) may apply an order of priority based on the learning outcomes of the course, while bearing in mind the university obligation of enabling students to complete their degrees within the normative duration of study set for the degree. The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.

This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.

Further Information (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): Minimum amount of participants is 8 students.
Two places are reserved for exchange students.
The course is taught in English / Finnish.
