** In Visual Arts, students may use multimedia for making and responding to 4d (four-dimensional) artworks, that is artworks that have depth, height, width and added temporal and spatial dimensions. For example, artworks that incorporate time, such as time-based installations, or artworks that incorporate performance on a moving image.
