Course Related Information
Through the use of traditional and time---based media, students are introduced to basic concepts of art and design in space and time. Assignments direct students in creating works that utilize attributes of time and movement, elements of moving image, serial, sequential, and narrative ordering, still and moving image editing, sound and image relations, and objective analysis. In focusing on the relations between students' spacing and timing skills, this course extends and supplements the other Foundation courses, and prepares students for further work with computers, video, photo, sound and animation.
