Hello and Welcome to the Art213 Intro to Digital Media blog. This blog contains up-to-date information on the class, assignments & projects. There are also important links from this blog to other class resources. This blog is the hub of the class don't forget to check if frequently. I usually updated the blog within 24 hours of class.
Part of your first assignment is to bring your laptop to class and show me the bookmark to this site.
The Intro to digital media class is an overview of Print based media, Time based media and Interactive Media. These areas of media are explored through the use of Adobe Photosop 7, ImageReady 7, iMovie, & Dreamweaver MX as well as a hand full of useful shareware and web applications(YouTube, Flickr & Blogs).
We will investigate the mechanics of creating Digital Media as well as consider the roll of media within American society and it's potential to alter peoples perceptions. We will also look to define 'Digital Art' as a medium for art.
* This class has a $75 Lab fee & you will need a 1 GB thumbdrive.
