Experiments in Motion Media ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will delve into the world of experimental video and motion graphics. Students will choose from a variety of mediums (video, photos, cell phones, stopmotion animation, film, graphic design, etc.) to create experimental pieces of their own. We will begin the semester examining the historical development of motion media (with a specific emphasis on avant-garde cinema) and students will choose a specific artist and genre for in depth research. This artist and genre will serve as inspiration as students develop experimental works of their own and we explore the treatment of 'personal history' in artistic processes.
