Course Description
Advanced Digital Art and Design should be taken after Digital Art and Design. Advanced Digital Art and Design is geared towards students who are interested in further developing their individual digital art and collaborative design skills. Students will be encouraged to work within the community to solve design problems and to engage in professional practices. In addition, Advanced Digital Art and Design students deepen and refine their skill with computers, cameras, Photoshop, Illustrator, and industry standard technology available to realize their creative vision. This is a project-based class and success is determined by the effort each student is willing to commit to the creative process.
Classroom Setting:
This class requires a combination of dynamic collaboration with peers as well as focused independent work throughout. It favors a self motivated student that is able to communicate effectively with peers in a professional design studio environment. During independent work, students may be exploring campus with a camera or working with computer software and are expected to maintain focus and avoid distractions. Students will be using expensive technology and equipment and are expected to treat the equipment with the utmost care and respect at all times. Failure to do this will result in loss of privileges or access to technology. Students are also expected to uphold high standards for behavior and professionalism to maintain a safe, positive, creative classroom environment. See course syllabus for more detailed information.
