Discuss how this development could affect the status of live performers, as well as the quality of the experience to the audience. Using the internet, find, retrieve, and show in class copyrighted works of art.

Using the tools learned in class, create a computer art site, installation or presentation.

Supervised labs are limited to the number of stations available in the laboratory.
In addition, the dynamics of class participation and debate dictate a small class. It is conceivable that a larger version could be taught in some future where there is a large completely computerized classroom, with teaching assistants to help supervise and the ability to break up into small groups for discussion and projects. At this time, however, the class size would probably need to be around 15-18 students. Since the field is changing so fast, this area would need to be constantly adjusting. Students in this course must have access to computers, the internet, and basic arts retrieval and conversion software in much the same way that they would be required to have paper and pen today.
