ART 213 Introduction to Digital Media
This is an introductory course to digital media with an emphasis on the medium as a vehicle for creative expression. The course introduces the three main aspects found within digital media; Print media, Time based media and 3D Design. During the term we will investigate image, video and web applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and 123D Design. The class will consider digital media's effect on society through appropriation, the loop, remixing, the mashup, truth vs. perception and virtual memory, as well as other contemporary and traditional ideas that apply to the sphere of digital media. Central to these issues, and the focal point of this course, is the impact of digital media on American culture. Digital images, video and the web are important devices for communication across all disciplines. The information obtained in this course will be invaluable for anyone who wishes to present information through the digital medium. Offered yearly. Suitable for non-majors. (EL)
