New Media and Animation
New Media and Animation focuses on fine arts and experimental approaches to studio practices. Students work
with a variety of methods within a framework that includes the history and theory
of New Media in connection with contemporary and traditional art practices.
Coursework introduces digital imaging, 2D Animation, and internet technologies. Advanced
Studies include an exploration of 3D Computer Graphics, 2D and 3D Animation, 2D and
3D Interactive Multimedia, Rapid Prototyping, Digital Video, Sound Design, and emerging
computer art technologies.
In all levels of coursework, students are encouraged to explore media and materials
outside of their focus and discover ways to integrate digital technologies into those
disciplines. The New Media and Animation Lab provides students with professional software
packages and access to networked workstations, 3D print systems, large-format color
printers, and numerous computer peripherals.
