Welcome to the Intro to Digital Media class!
The "Intro to Digital Media" class is a studio course that concentrates on the basics of digital media, including imagery, typography, sound, video, animation, and the internet. We feel that it is important that you engage not only the technical dimensions of digital media--its hardware and software--but gain an appreciation of its conceptual and expressive aspects as well. Over the semester you will have the opportunity to employ a diverse range of techniques and acquaint yourself with a whole new landscape of contemporary artistic practices--most of which won't be mentioned in your standard art history surveys! While the majority of the class will consist of hands-on experimentation, along the way you will gain an appreciation of the history of digital media and learn a broad range approaches to digital media for the creation of fine art.
