Installation Construction, Kinetic Installation, Fundamentals of Multimedia Art Engineering, Public Art Creation, Landscape Installation Creation
• Installation Construction
This course explores materials, found-object deconstruction and artistic composition, illustrating the importance of construction in public art. It sharpens students' material sensitivity, develops constructive modeling thinking, and trains them to apply new construction methods in their creative work. Through deconstruction and assembly exercises, students consolidate prior knowledge in spatial modeling and landscape design, laying a solid foundation for subsequent Public Art Creation and ensuring a coherent, well-structured undergraduate curriculum.

• Kinetic Installation
The course consists of two progressive stages. The first covers electromechanical fundamentals and operational safety, requiring students to complete kinetic devices independently. The second examines kinetic installation case studies and guides students to create small-scale electromechanical artworks, mastering technical approaches to diversify artistic expression. The two closely-integrated sessions systematically train mechanical modeling and improve spatial imagination and artistic innovation.

• Fundamentals of Multimedia Art Engineering
The course is structured around three integrated modules- theory, software and practice-integrating knowledge, technology, and hands-on creation. The theoretical module covers multimedia art history, media expansion and spatial narrative. The technical module provides audio-visual and interactive training, using digital tools through creative project proposals to explore tech-driven artistic expression. In practice, students create spatial narrative-based multimedia art projects by drawing on canonical texts, and employing light, sound, installation and interactive media.

• Public Art Creation
This comprehensive creative course transforms basic skills into studio-level expertise for advanced studies. Organized across three tracks-Sculptural Arts in Public Spaces, Art in Virtual and Physical Spaces, and Art and Engineering- the course progressively introduces the full public art creation process, including site research, concept development, and media practice.
Combining theory with practice, students master creative methodologies, form professional creative concepts and understand the features of each research direction.

• Landscape Installation Creation
This mandatory course for senior students in the Sculptural Arts in Public Spaces track involves site-specific and cultural-context research through humanistic field studies, integrating professional knowledge with technological approaches to complete comprehensive works. The course covers public art theories and installation languages, equipping students with skills to design and fabricate landscape installations. Through site research to frame problems and hands-on practice to refine the creative process, it broadens artistic vision, fosters innovative thinking, and lays a solid foundation for graduation project.
