    Description
    This course is designed for students majoring in the visual arts, including studio art, illustration, animation, graphic design, or students interested in learning to use the computer as a tool for digital painting. The course uses technology tools and media (e.g., software, drawing tablets, scanners, and printers) to execute traditional drawing and painting effects in a digital medium. Students investigate the fundamental pictorial elements of line, shape, space, color, and texture as well as the formal relationship of these elements to produce original works of art while learning the technology, concepts, and practices of digital art production.
