Video Art

Catalog description

In this studio course, students are introduced to the creative, time-based medium of video. The course will focus on developing a thorough understanding of the visual literacy used in video art as well as a technical understanding of nonlinear editing using industry standard software. Contemporary video pieces will be discussed through lectures, as well as an overview of the history of video art. Through editing practices, students learn to manipulate time, space and sound to create their own personal works in a variety of styles. Basic computer knowledge required. It is expected that students will spend additional time outside of class completing course assignments. Students will also be required to purchase or have access to a video camera and other supplies (such as a tripod, flash drives and/or external hard drives) as directed by the instructor.
