General Description
Computer Art is a second level studio projects course exploring the use
of computer technologies for augmenting and expanding creative thought in making
visual art. Students experiment with photo-manipulation, paint, object-based,
and page-layout software, as well as establish practical knowledge of input and
output techniques. Innovation and experimentation are highly encouraged.
Students will expand their understanding of contemporary digital arts practice
through readings, discussions, lectures, and critiques.
We will explore computer imaging in terms of giving visual form to ideas about perception, identity, memory, movement, the environment, biotechnology and personal expression in private and public settings. In all projects you are encouraged to use sound if you feel it is appropriate.
