3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the basic techniques of 2D Computer Animation through a series of assigned short exercises and longer projects. Fundamental concepts such as: key framing, inbetweens, overlapping, cycles, weight, exaggeration, and multi-planar motion will be introduced and explored. Students may choose to use drawing, photography, collage, sculpting, or digital compositing techniques in the production of their projects. Macromedia's Flash will be the main 2D animation tool used in the course, however other applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Soundtrack, After Effects, Motion, and Final Cut may be used in both the production of assets and as post production tools. 3 Credit Hours. Meets 6 hours per week. Prerequisites NM 101 Digital Imaging, and NM 102 Digital Video.

6.00 Credits
This course explores the poetics of mediabased art. Students develop a body of work specific to their area of interest, building their physical and verbal vocabularies around the making and critiquing of new media art works. The emphasis is equally divided between the act of the making and speaking about that making. This course focuses on the expression of students' ideas through the modality of media rather than on the technical specifics of the media itself. Through discussions, critiques and studio work, importance is placed not only on the creation of professional caliber media art works but also on the documentation and (re)presentation of that work for promotional purposes. Student papers and presentations examine through the work of other contemporary and/or historical media artists. Major requirement: 6 credits/semester; 3 hours/ week. Prerequisites: NM 101 and 102.

3.00 Credits
A popular mode of visual communication in itself, documentary filmmaking contains all of the strategies, creative decision-making and content editing inherent in the design and art-making process. In this course, documentary film techniques will be analyzed, narrative structures discussed and aspects of documentary filmmaking such as pointof- view and ethics studied. The course will begin with exercises in editing and visual documentation and workshops in camera operation, basic studio lighting for interviews and sound editing. Student film crews will each produce and edit their own short documentary video during the course of the semester. Maximum 12 students. 3 credits/ semester; 6 hours/week. Prerequisites: NM102 Introduction to Digital Video and excellent collaborative skills.

In this course students observe and study the flora and fauna inhabiting local tidal marshes, beaches / dunes and rocky intertidal zones. Attention is given to the basic principles of ecology and the identification of common marine life forms. Laboratory and field studies provide a means of studying the many interesting adaptations associated with intertidal organisms. Includes one allday Saturday field trip and two half-day trips held during regular class meetings. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.

3.00 Credits
This course provides a basic understanding of the human body, its evolutionary history and current social issues. Human anatomy and physiology are studied through selected readings, class discussion and the use of visual aids such as anatomy charts, molecular model building, photographic slides and videotapes. Scientific theories dealing with cosmology and evolution, including human origins, are explored. The course concludes with a study of human reproduction and current technological and ethical issues concerning new reproductive technologies and genetic engineering. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers transformational geometry, group theory, dimension theory and an introduction to income tax forms. Taking an experimental approach, the course utilizes many media to connect art and mathematics. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the topics of mechanics, properties of matter, energy transfer, magnetism and electricity, and light and sound. It uses a constructivist approach to learning, engaging the learner through laboratory experiences. Scientific inquiry is the basic structure for learning and the major learning result. Students construct and carry out scientific investigations to formulate conclusions. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an immersion into scientific mathematics, the philosophy and the artistic interpretations of zero and infinity. Students pursue laboratory investigations of the natural science of zero and infinity. Through the scientific method, learning is uncovered, discussed and developed. The philosophical content inherent in this course interconnects the content with the aesthetic nature of art and the cultural aspects of the development of science and mathematics. This course involves students in a hands-on, mind-on curriculum with a holistic assessment process. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
The problem-solving component of this course is focused on real dilemmas that replicate the type of problems confronted in everyday life. Assignments include designing structures, using mathematical concepts and skills to resolve dilemmas and resolving a simulated problem confronted by a city council. Consensus skills, decision-making strategies and mathematical applications are the learning expectations. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 3 hours/week. Prerequisite: EN 101-102 or equivalent.
