ART 216 Digital Art and Design II
An intermediate course in digital media with an emphasis on graphic design and the printed image as a vehicle for creative expression. Visual issues covered in assignments will include composition, subject matter, design and context. Theoretical discussion will consider truth vs. perception, individual vs. corporate view, the creation of reality, and copyright issues. This course will investigate the mass proliferation of images in western, consumer culture and reprocess that information into art. Students will explore how these images are created, reasons for their creation, and the functions they serve. Students will appropriate, capture and create images through digital processes involving the use of scanners, digital cameras, and Adobe Photoshop. This course will encourage hands-on investigation into the techniques used for the manipulation of images and how these manipulated images affect and construct our everyday realities. Projects include poster design, package design, stencil tagging, and image manipulation. May be repeated for additional credit. Prerequisite: ART 213. Offered alternate years. (EL)
