Through a combination of traditional 2D & 3D design techniques and digital imaging you will complete projects that lead you to think more narratively about photographic imagery and the grouping of images. Weekly assignments will stress both the technical and aesthetic aspects of the digital medium and will be designed to reinforce a thematic way of approaching each project. Each week the class will meet for four hours in digital lab and two hours in the studio. You will be learning several skills concurrently as they reflect varied digital approaches. Class exercises will help reinforce skills needed to complete assigned work. Weekly demonstrations, discussions, and critiques, as well as class working time are incorporated into each of the two segments. In addition to the weekly and semester long projects, you will be asked to maintain a sketchbook, will be given assigned readings, and will be expected to go on one outside field trip related to the topics explored in class.
