Media Arts
Media Arts is the study of human communication through: film, photography, video, audio, computer digital arts, and interactive media. Creatively, students employ the elements of space, time, light, motion, color, and sound to express their perspectives, feelings, and ideas. Critically, you will learn to interpret and evaluate media within aesthetic, cultural and historical contexts to become more enlightened consumers and effective citizens.
Media Arts is aesthetic-based and uses elements and tools of current and emerging technologies to create works that express feelings and ideas. The act of creation is an essential part of thinking which in turn builds the notion that there are alternative approaches to traditional mass media. In order to learn the language and symbol systems of our current culture. We will work in different mediums to explore ideas.
