This is an advanced digital art class that will continue the skills learned from Digital I and II. The student will be given an opportunity for specialized and technical instruction in digital art according to their interests, knowledge, and skills. The attitudes necessary for success in the field of Graphic Design, whether as an amateur or a professional designer, are emphasized. Students will make a self-driven art portfolio, which will contain examples of their best work and their independently driven-investigations. Students will gain a greater understanding of both the technical and conceptual aspects of creating, manipulating, and editing images. More independent study is provided, and students are encouraged to explore an area of keen interest. Creative self-expression will stem from past knowledge of the art elements and principles. Computer art, art history, criticism, aesthetics, and art in society are continued. We highly recommend that all students have access to a digital SLR camera with manual features.
