THE DIGITAL ARTS

A Gallery of Student Art Work from School of Ed Courses

The art works on these pages were produced by students in the Art in Media program of the School of Education's Art and Art Professions Department.

Computer Art 1

Several of the students - Miguel Bohmer, Carla Escoe, Jim Jeffers, Tatiana Kronberg, Manuela Mozo and Helen Rousakis -- participated in Computer Art 1 taught by Shelley J. Smith. In this course students focus on more advanced aspects of two-dimensional imaging using specific photo-manipulation and paint programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Fractal Design Painter, as well as object-based and page-layout software such as Adobe Illustrator and QuarkXPress. The students are encourged to develop a meaningful body of work while applying the new procedures or processes introduced in the course to fundamental considerations of form and content.

Introduction to Computer Art

Kathleen Ruiz taught two classes in the Art in Media program. In her Introduction to Computer Art course, the students learn to use the computer to augment and expand conceptualization and expression in making art. This is done through exposure to specific applications in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. The students whose works appear from the Introduction course are Heathe Birnbaum, Fanny Chu, and Peter Wohlsen.

Advanced Projects in Art and Media

In the Advanced Projects in Art and Media course, Ruiz's students -- here Jin A. Lee and Yung-Te Wu -- develop major art projects that are fully realized and represent an evolution from computer sketches to finished work. These works usually involve more than one discipline and application. The software covered enables students to create digital video, three-dimensional virtual forms, and virtual reality environments, while continuing to work in digital photography, painting, drawing, and printmaking.
