Digital Media Art
DIGITAL MEDIA ART
The Digital Media Art major combines an emphasis in the methods of art, design media production and with the communication arts and media theory. The program of study explores the many aspects of digital motion media, from traditional video production to the emerging fields of independent web-based content and includes television and film concepts.
In the first-year Foundations Program, students complete courses in drawing (ART 102)or 2D design (ART 103), digital media art (ART 105); and can choose to take 3D design (ART 104) and Art and Design seminar (ART 100).
After the first year, students begin work in their concentration along with elective studio art courses. Also, students study art history, theory, and criticism. Concurrently, students take courses in communication and media theory, as well as advertising and design.
The program of study culminates with an internship and either a Capstone Exhibition or Portfolio. The Capstone is an individually completed year-long faculty-mentored project in which students select and produce a body of work in art or design and prepare that work for exhibition or production.
