ART 213 Introduction to Digital Media
An introductory course in digital media, this class introduces the three main aspects found within digital media; graphic design, motion graphics and 3D Design. During the term we will investigate image, video and web applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and 3D Design software. Students will learn the techniques of design thinking to foster creative solutions for problem solving. The class will consider digital media’s effect on society through appropriation, big data, 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 digital forms. Offered yearly. Suitable for majors and non-majors.
