3 credits This course is an introduction to the basic methods, theories, and processes of moving-image making using a variety of moving-image media. Emphasis will be placed both on acquiring technical skills and on becoming thoughtful about aesthetic issues involved in expression through moving images.

This course teaches students to create art and original graphics using computer software and technological equipment. Time spent in this course will be divided among learning Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and concepts of fine art and digital photography. Projects will be designed to integrate the use of scanners, digital drawing tablets, cameras and iPads while learning the elements and principles of design. Prior drawing experience is helpful but not necessary. Students will also be challenged to integrate these skills with traditional art media such as drawing and collage. Students from all disciplines will develop skills to apply in making flyers, posters, logos, and design. (Lab work required) (Fee applies)
