ARTS 110 - Basic Computer Skills for the Fine Artist

Credits: (3)

Instructional Method: One hour lecture; three and a half hours lab.
Students will gain a basic working knowledge of various computer programs as tools for art making and professional development. Hands-on computer production and basic skill acquisition will be balanced with an awareness of the human interface between machine and user. Lectures will introduce theories, films, and ideas on how technology affects changes in the fine arts and society at large. Students will apply these skills in two ways: they will practice slide show presentations as a creative medium and a professional skill. Students will not only gain technical skills but methods of thinking and reflecting on how electronic technology, sound, sight, and motion influence the fine arts field (2-D or 3-D, Consult professor for distinction).

Note(s): Applied Learning designated course. Students cannot receive credit for both ARTS 110 and ART 110.
