ARTD 476 - Digital Media III: Interactive Graphics

5 credit hours

Designed to introduce students to the internet as a medium for artistic creation. Students will study the history of digital art for perspective and inspiration and will create interactive works for the internet. The course will begin with an exploration of HTML using an experimental approach, then move into working with sound, and finally to working within the Flash programming environment for interactivity. Projects will be presented that develop software skills, although the primary focus will be on the artistic use of the tools rather than pure practical application. Prerequisite: ARTD 375 or permission of instructor.
