This course explores the issues surrounding the technologies of art making. It examines relationships among human perception, technology, and the creative process.
Students make choices about technologies in their projects, which affect the final products.
The message they wish to communicate, the appearance they wish the artwork to have, and the appropriateness of the technology influence these decisions. Technology is broadly defined to include everything from charcoal sticks, to the printing press, the camera, and the computer. Students will learn how perception works and how physiology, culture, and technology influence our perception. In turn they apply this understanding to the art making process. 3-D Moviemaker, WinMorph, Paint Shop Pro, Homesite, Fractal Poser, ArtExpress.
