Media Arts

A unique introduction to the Visual Arts by way of new media and digital technology.

Meeting the NYS fine art requirement for graduation, Media Arts is an accepted alternative to Studio in Art.

 

Students interested in tapping the potential of technology and new media for artistic expression will learn to use the computer as a creative tool to solve artistic challenges. Students will learn to appreciate, analyze and create original art and design images using Photoshop, Illustrator, digital cameras and more.

 

Innovative projects will link traditional media and technology to reflect student passions and interests in technology, media and related arts.

 

*Media arts offer a strong foundation and preparation for the advanced elective Digital Imaging.
