Thesis I

Catalog description

This is the first of two capstone courses dedicated to the thesis project. In Digital Art & Design, a thesis is a creative project that emphasizes the use of digital tools and working principles. Students are required to demonstrate both their theoretical and practical skills and apply them to a project within their area of professional interest and specialization. They are expected to identify critical stakeholders, understand market requirements, and research all technical, social, and artistic aspects of their project. The design process that follows will be informed by this research. The outcome of this course is a project proposal, a previsualization of the design and concept, and proof-of-concept tests of the techniques and tools critical to producing the project. Students will be required to defend their proposal by presenting it to a faculty panel. Prerequisite Course(s): Prerequisite: ARTC 400 Classroom Hours - Laboratory and/or Studio Hours – Course Credits: 1-3-3
