Computer Art C

Computer Art 'C' is an advanced computer graphics class. This course covers rendering and animation while experimenting with color, composition, lighting, and digital effects.  Self-directed students will create video art and poetic pieces based on expressive or symbolic images and sounds in conjunction with text and music.  Resourceful students will explore and collaborate in media production and class presentations highlighting various documentary, narrative, and experimental genres.  We use graphic programs currently in use by graphic designers and artists in the field --Photoshop, Illustrator. and After Effects and other Mac software such as iMovie and Photobooth.  Students will apply more sophisticated techniques to create, edit and transform new or existing images. This class is designed for students to be self directed and motivated to create a highly unique and original body of work.  Students will learn new techniques and design principles by following video and written tutorials.  There will be class demonstrations from time to time, but the instructor will act as a facilitator and mentor throughout the creative process.
