This is a foundational course in computer graphics and digital arts that will provide students with a strong basis for any field that utilizes a computer to produce artistic work, including animation, computer game and simulation development, web development, and graphic design. Emphasis will be placed on gaining the ability to effectively utilize the Principles and Elements of Visual Design when creating projects. The students will have the opportunity to build their portfilio by designing professional, finished imagery using Adobe Photoshop. Prior knowledge in Photoshop is not necessary, though students entering this course need to have a basic understanding of computers, including how to save and organize files, how to properly use a mouse, and how to use word processing applications.
