This studio art course investigates the intersection of visual representation, contemporary art, digital imaging, and time-based artwork from an aesthetic, historical, and artistic perspective for the contemporary artist. Technical instruction, through the use of digital imaging software such as Adobe Photoshop, supports the study of artistic and theoretical principles. Students develop problem-solving and visual strategies that deepen their understanding of the connection between technology, personal expression, and the universal language of art. Projects emphasize the creation of original artwork with current software and hardware solutions.
