Description:
The Introduction to Computer Graphics course is a project-based course structured to give students a hands-on learning experience as they acquire industry standard knowledge and skills that are used to create a variety of two dimensional design products. Digital media is the major medium explored in the Introduction to Computer Graphics course. However, students are also required to explore fusing traditional media with digital media. This exploratory platform, of fusing traditional and digital media, facilitates creativity, effective visual communication, problem solving, visual literacy, as well as computer literacy. The projects within Introduction to Computer Graphics are aligned to contemporary and trending knowledge, skills, topics, ideas, and concepts within today’s art worlds and societies. Working with these components gives students a real-world connection to their art learning and art production. Art History and Aesthetics are addressed to inform and guide the art making decisions, processes, and techniques.
