WELCOME TO ART303!!

Welcome! 

This course sets the technical foundation and cultural/contextual introduction foradvanced courses in the Graphic Design and Art & Technology concentrations. Such a foundation can be applied to most other study areas as well. Developing basic understandings and skills with emerging media processes: data management, vector and raster graphics (still and animation), audio manipulation, application of computer resources in problem solving, and interactive structures for knowledge representation.

Within this course the student will work to gain an understanding of the Mac operating system, and attain a working knowledge of the tools used by emerging media artists and designers.

Lectures will present a broad spectrum of issues applicable to the Graphic Design and Art & Technology (Emerging Practices) student, divided between technology and theory.

The Graphic Designer focuses on typography, design for print and screen, visual information systems and culture. The Art & Technology artist focuses on exploring the technical, tactical, cultural and communicative potential of emerging technologies such as interactive multi-media, electronic installation, networked telematic communication, robotics, three-dimensional simulation, biotechnology and algorithmic image synthesis.

This course will be taught via lecture (theory) and weekly lab with practical application – class participation, exercises, and projects. Students will conduct research, reflect on the design process, and actively contribute to class discussions, projects, critiques / presentations.

Students receive evaluations, and a mid-term assessment. Traditional mark-making and Adobe Creative Cloud are used to visually communicate projects and exercises, with the reminder that software is a tool only, and students are encouraged and required to explore / generate their ideas in each step of design problem solving. All projects must be thoroughly completed and refined, students will attend all classes (unless otherwise instructed), make notes, and complete all assigned projects, readings and exercises.

GENERATIVE ART WITH PROCESSING!

  EXERCISE 04: GENERATIVE ART WITH PROCESSING Overview Generative (or Algorithmic) art is art or design produced by an artist or designer or anyone who chooses to create and explore imagery by writing computer programs by oneself or with the aid of a programmer. “Processing integrates a programming language, development environment and a teaching methodology into a unified system. It was created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context. Students, artists, design professionals and researchers use it for learning, prototyping and production.” ( Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers, Second Edition,  Casey Reas and Ben Fry.) It is built on a simplified version of Java. Objectives Learn enough Processing coding to enable execution of the final project for the ART303 course. Develop a basic understanding and facility for solving visual problems algorithmically. Explore aesthetic ideas and visual structures through algori...

PROJECT 2 – SYNTHESIZED MEANING

Overview Synthsized Meaning  is an exploration of the impact on communication when images are recombined, repositioned and reprocessed, when the lines of “reality” are blurred. Students will collect and assemble found or original images into a Photoshop montage. The original “meaning” of each original image will evolve in relation to the others. It will be seen that meaning itself can never be fixed, but that it changes relative to the point of view of the observer, cultural preconceptions, and the context in which it is perceived. Montage  [Fr.: “mounting”]. Assemblage that results from the overlapping or joining of various materials, images or objects to form a new single picture. Timothy Druckrey wrote in the article From Dada to Digital that “one of the central considerations in the emergence of electronic montage is the redefinition of narrative. Sequential or arrayed, information is created in forms that suggest that the single image is not sufficient to serve as a recor...

PROJECT 3 — INTERACTIVE VOICES

Overview Interactive Voices  is an exploration of the meaningful integration of sound, movement and interactivity. The student will create an work of generative art combining audio, motion and interactivity. This Project will utilize skills covered in Lectures 4 and 5, and Exercise 4 (Hour of Code, In-Class Demos, and review of examples.) Assignment Theme:  The content of the project is entirely at your discretion, and the audio and visual elements may be objective or non-objective. Sound sources may be found online, sampled audio, or recorded by you. Visual elements will be generated from within Processing. What is most important is that the sounds interact meaningfully with the appearance and movement of the visual objects. Avoid using simple narrative. Do not approach the project as a music video or cartoon. Rather than telling a story, try to create an abstract experience, as in the Oskar Fischinger films. Think of this as poetry (literary work in which special i...
