Art, Design & Digital Culture introduces students to the fundamentals of visual perception, representation, aesthetics and design that shape contemporary visual culture. The course addresses the ways in which artists and designers create images; design with analog and digital tools, communicate, exchange, and express over a broad range of media. Emphasis is placed on building an extended form of visual literacy by studying and making images using a variety of techniques; as well as learning to organize and structure two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, and make designs using time-based and procedural media. Participants will learn to develop an individual style of idea-generation, experimentation, iteration, presentation and critique, in support of creative and critical responses to digital culture and the contemporary moment. The course positions art / design as a state-of-mind: speculative, critical, a form of inquiry – serving as a laboratory for rigorous directed investigation and creative problem solving. The objective is to learn to see and think like an artist-designer; seeking balance between free exploration and discovery within parameters. Our focus will be on design as both a mental discipline and a set of skills; as both a process and a focused practice.
Participants are tasked with regularly sharing content relevant to our course and related individual interests.
