Digital Art Applications in Studio Art and Media Arts
At which campus can I study this program?
Plan Description
The Bachelor of Pattern (B.Des.) in Digital Arts and Media Design (Dart) is a multidisciplinary digital arts and design undergraduate caste in the College of Arts and Compages'southward School of Visual Arts. Digital Arts and Media Design approaches blueprint through the lens of the visual arts, every bit a critical, creative, and experimental studio-based practice. The major prepares students to become leaders in digital media fields where their commanding cognition of emerging technologies allows them to contribute and innovate in creative media design careers.
Students' progress through a series of core courses in which they develop enquiry, pattern, and computational skills to enhance their capacity for critical thinking. In add-on to these core experiences, students hone creative thinking capabilities in a range of studio-based digital fine art and design courses. In the final year of study, students work rigorously on a senior thesis project based on topics of personal interests and areas of intensive report in the digital arts. A purpose of the thesis is to ready students to meet the varying challenges they will face as digital fine art and blueprint professionals.
Students may cull from one of three primary tracks in the program:
- Digital Art and Digital Design Emphasis: In this track students create individualized 2nd-3d digital arts and design learning paths that may include UX/UI design (user feel/user interface), visual concept art and blueprint, 3d modeling and digital fabrication, 2d-3d digital imaging and computer graphics, every bit well as the most recent emerging forms of digital art and design.
- Interactive Media Emphasis: In this runway students create individualized learning paths for interactive media design. Students acquire computational skills equally visual thinkers, designing increasingly circuitous interactive experiences individually and in teams. Students take courses in game fine art, game blueprint, physical calculating, mobile and web blueprint, virtual worlds, interactive media blueprint, information visualization and cultural analytics.
- Time Based Media Emphasis: In this track students create individualized learning paths for second and 3d time based digital arts and media design including motion graphics, blitheness, computer graphics and pre-visualization as well as video compositing.
What is Digital Arts and Media Design?
Digital Arts and Media Blueprint uses digital arts technologies in studio-lab settings to challenge young artists and designers to expand their ideas as they explore new languages of visual expression and communication. Following familiar studio ways of thinking and making traditionally associated with practices such as mixing pigments in painting, or shaping clay in ceramics, digital artists dispense computer software through coding to expand the potential for creating new forms of paradigm making. In an electronic surround, the single piece of work of fine art may exist replaced past multiple copies that are cloned and reworked using a range of image-making systems. Digital artworks may be exhibited in a variety of forms, such as digital prints, computer printouts, or other hard copy formats of any scale where each translation offers different interpretations. Digital art may also exist encountered through networks, interactive games, simulations, or as immersive environments that require active participation by a viewer.
