Art Design and Digital Culture 
Fall 2024

Course Description

This course is an introduction to the fundamental perception, representation, aesthetics, and design that shape today's visual culture. It addresses the way artists and designers create images; design with analog and digital tools; communicate, exchange, and express meaning over a broad range of media; and find their voices within the fabric of contemporary art, design, and visual culture. Emphasis is placed on building an extended form of visual literacy by studying and making images using a variety of representation techniques; learning to organize and structure two-dimenstional and three-dimensional space, and designing with time-based and procedural media. Students learn to develop an individual style of idea-generation, experimentation, iteration, and critique as part of their creative and critical responses to visual culture.

Assignment #3

Produce a series of 4 - 5 short videos with a total run time of under 7 minutes. The individual videos can range from 15 seconds to 6 minutes. Together they will make a full piece. The video can be shot on your phone camera, a camera rented from the cage or it can be found footage. The videos may or may not be sound. If you use sounds be careful to not make a music video. It must be edited in Premiere Pro. It can be a formalist work, conceptual or both. The subject matter should engage the theme of digital culture.
