ARTS 104 | Visual Concepts through Digital Media

This course provides a foundational introduction to artmaking through the use of digital media. We will discuss the history, practice, and current trends in digital art through a blend of theoretical and project-based learning. Through weekly examples and projects, we will create virtual and physical artworks that explore visual relationships, heighten perceptual awareness, and forge pathways to a practice of interdisciplinary making. To navigate the expansive and ever-evolving world of digital art, our work will be oriented by four guideposts: Image (photography/videography, image processing & compositing), Graphic (graphic design, typography, generative art), Form (3D modeling and rendering, virtual and interactive worlds), and Object (CAD, CAM, and digital fabrication).
