Description:
This course is designed to give you a fundamental working knowledge of the tools available for producing multimedia projects in the digital realm. We will discuss the impact of this technology on the career of commercial and fine artists. You will become proficient with the tools necessary to successfully complete a multimedia project. Current uses of this material can be found in: business presentations, interactive CDROMs, educational titles, commercial consumer titles and the fine art world. The advent of the World Wide Web and CDROM will continue to have a profound effect on the way that artists disseminate their images. Hands on assignments will be given to familiarize you with the tools necessary to create a multimedia presentation. Since the technology is changing so rapidly, the course will be flexible in its content and structure. Since much of the classroom time will consist of demonstrations and lectures, I will expect the student to spend time outside of class preparing their projects and doing research. However, there will be many class periods when I will have lab times on certain class days so students should come prepared to work to all classes. Failure to do so may be considered an absence from class.
