ARTT 114 Time-Based Media

This course will explore the moving image as an artistic medium. Projects will analyze techniques ranging from flipbooks, basic drawn 2D animation and stop motion to video, sound, and editing software-the aesthetic capacities of each will be fully explored. Emphasis will be placed on approaching each project with an expressive, artistic eye, and students will be encouraged to draw from many different media to create their work.
