ARTS 107
Digital Imaging is a broad term for using digital tools to engage in aesthetic and conceptual practices in contemporary art. In this class personal studio projects allow investigation of a variety of subjects such as: the role of digital media in the history of artistic practice, the relationship of the arts to popular culture, the aesthetics of abstraction, the development of metaphor, new versions of magic-realism and the effects of social issues on the creation and interpretation of art work. Students come to understand the fundamentals of composition and develop technical skills with still-image and video-production tools. Through theory and practice, effective art criticism skills are developed, allowing for creative group interactions and defining of a personal aesthetic vision. Presentations by the professor are supplemented by student readings about contemporary artists and issues. |
