Students are invited to join this learning community of media artists who are interested in media production, design, writing, history, and theory, and want to collaborate with media faculty. This program is designed for students who share similar skills and common interests to do advanced work that may have grown out of previous academic projects and/or programs. Students will work with faculty during the first few weeks of fall quarter to design small study groups, collaborative projects, or critique groups that will be supported by this year's SOS program. In addition to the student-centered curriculum, we will explore different themes each quarter. In fall, our focus will be building media communities. We will also study Web design in order to create artist's Web sites by the middle of fall quarter, and develop skills in DVD authoring to create portfolio and proposal documentation pieces. The themes for winter and spring will be developed collaboratively with program members. Total: 12 or 16 credits each quarter. Enrollment: 18 Internship Possibilities: With faculty approval. Special Expenses: For media production materials, dependent upon the nature of the student project. Program is preparatory for careers and future studies in media arts and communications. A similar program is expected to be offered in 2008-09.
