Idea Institute Course
Offerings:
Session I: FOUR COMPUTER ART CLASSES begins by addressing how art class size dictates classroom management strategies that has students alternating between working on and off the computers. What follows are curricula for each of four levels of electronic media coursework. First year students learn to communicate an intended message with a multimedia presentation. Storyboarding and the sequential development of the presentation is covered. Hear how animation is part of the learning process that assists the instructor in teaching the steps of the software. Second year students learn image manipulation software and end the course with all of their work in a presentation.Third year students continue to manipulate their own original art for the pages of their own desktop published books.Seniors are responsible for an entire marketing campaign which introduces them to the world as artists. They plan and complete a Senior exhibition with posters, post card invitations, artists tags, sign in books and artist catalogues which includes all the works in their show. All of this incredible work is shown and more. See examples of work in Art Student Porfolios
