Course Description:

The student will understand and apply the concepts of the art elements, design principles, and expressive qualities in time sequence based art such as video, animation, motion graphics, and interactive technology.


What to expect:

This class is built to get you to look outside of the 2D and 3D artwork (respectively) and into time lapse and interactive artwork.  We will start by learning some basic tools with the programs which will be used most and eventually move into 2D animation, stop animation, video, as well as web and other forms of interactive and time arts.  You will be challenged not only by the programs and technical knowledge, but also by the creative process which you will apply to your projects.


(Cameras and other equipment: please bring them if you have them!!!!)

Mac Lab Rules:


Here it goes, make sure you follow these lab rules and you’ll make it out alright. 


1.  Make sure you take care of all equipment, it is very expensive and I’m sure you don’t want the bill for it.  If there is vandalism, please tell me immediately so I know and you do not get blamed.

2.  Any equipment you use/borrow, make sure it gets back…… or else!  Be sure to check it out and back in properly and that it is in working condition.

3.  No food or drink near the computers!  Keep your belongings clear also neither of us trips on them, some of the aisles are pretty tight within the classroom.

4.  No web surfing at leisure,  if you want to listen to music that’s fine!!  If you want to catch up on last weeks television show or watch a movie trailer you’re going to have to wait until you get home.

5.  Please stay by your desk at the end of class, when you line up it makes me self-conscious.


Due Dates, homework, and grades:

Due dates for projects will be assigned generally towards the end of a project.  Some projects will be set from the beginning.  I will try and work with the class to make the due dates fair and make sure everyone has enough time.  This being said, you MUST be working during class on the project, research, etc… which is assigned.


Homework and/or assignments will be accepted late but with a reduced letter grade (Outstanding circumstances aside)









Grading scale:


EXCEEDING (4)--
MEETING (3)----
APPROACHING (2)-
STARTING (1)---
FAILING (0)-----


                                                                          


Projects and homework: 70% of quarter grade

Participation and Growth : 30% of quarter grade
