Digital Art & Media Design Capstone II

Catalog description

DART 401 Digital Art and Media Design Capstone II (4) Provides digital arts and media design students an opportunity to implement an undergraduate thesis. This course is the second part of a two-course undergraduate digital arts and media design thesis to be taken in the final year of study. Each student will have the opportunity to further explore the primary issue of theoretical concern based on his/her personal interest, and complete research in a rigorous, in-depth manner. The creation and implementation of the undergraduate thesis will occur within a collaborative team-based studio environment. Students in DART 401 will build upon the preliminary research and studio investigations undertaken in DART 400 . The thesis will synthesize the student's arts and design awareness, skills, and methods introduced in previous courses. The student will integrate studio and theory while creating a significant work of digital art or design, which demands a high degree of responsibility, self- motivation, and personal commitment. The student will work with a faculty adviser(s) in addition to the instructor of record for the course towards the completion and presentation of the undergraduate thesis.
